Pastoral MessageJuly 5, 2026
250 Works of Mercy Initiative
As we celebrate 250 years of our nation's founding, we are called not only to remember our history but also to renew our commitment to the common good.
250 Works of Mercy – The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) invites Catholics to mark this historic milestone by embracing the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. Through acts of compassion and service—such as volunteering at food pantries, sponsoring refugee families, accompanying women facing crisis pregnancies, comforting the suffering, and supporting those in need—we give living witness to the Gospel. In serving our neighbors, especially the most vulnerable, we honor the ideals of human dignity, charity, and solidarity that strengthen both our faith and our nation. May these works of mercy inspire hope, foster unity, and leave a legacy of love for generations to come.
