The 2026 Catholic Charities Appeal, themed “Giving Hope to All,” seeks to raise $10 million to support more than 100 ministries across the archdiocese.
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia will launch its 2026 Catholic Charities Appeal (CCA) with an in-pew commitment weekend on Feb. 21–22, aiming to raise $10 million to support the Church’s charitable ministries throughout the region.
The appeal supports more than 100 ministries and programs that provide food, shelter, education, and pastoral care to those most in need. This year’s campaign continues under the theme “Giving Hope to All.”
During the weekend, printed pledge cards will be available in English and Spanish in church pews, giving parishioners the opportunity to consider their gift. Contributions can be made using the envelope or by scanning a QR code that links directly to the Appeal’s secure giving page.
The Appeal is the archdiocese’s largest annual fundraising initiative, reaching roughly one in five residents across the five-county metropolitan area.
In 2025, the Appeal raised more than $8.4 million from over 35,700 donors. Funds from the 2026 Appeal will continue to support social services, special education, mission parishes, cultural ministries, and care for retired and infirm priests.
