Giving Tuesday is here again starting on November 29, 2022. Although it is just one day, the season of giving continues throughout until the end of the year and beyond in terms of this endeavor. Catholic nonprofits do much good in terms of being a part of the mission of the Church in making a difference for others. There are too many nonprofits to mention in one short article, but here are a some to consider.
The St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation
The St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation for Freedom, Family, and Faith is a Catholic nonprofit 501c3 which was founded in 2015 by the Mercedarian friars. They came together to start a foundation to make pastoral outreach to families in crisis by offering the spiritual works of mercy. The foundation has been successful over the years in making this outreach through prayer, priestly consultations, podcasts, and programs for individuals and families. Please consider supporting this ministry as any size donation is helpful in assisting them to continue this beautiful mission for family life. The giving living is located on the website at Nonnaus.org.
