Today we celebrate the birth of our country and the principle and promise of its founding declaration — "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." May we always strive to create a nation that reflects these ideals, and may all enjoy a safe and happy Independence Day!

Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of San Antonio, as part of Project Cool, is working to protect the elderly in its community by distributing free box fans to seniors, who are more vulnerable to heat-related illness than younger people. Community partners, including Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of San Antonio, came together 28 years ago to form Project Cool after the local fire department saw an increased number of calls from seniors who were succumbing to heat-related illnesses. https://lnkd.in/esNqwkr5

It's gratifying to see Catholic Charities volunteers receive recognition for the great and selfless contributions they make to their communities. Such is the case with John Halton, CCUSA's volunteer of the year for 2024, who is being recognized for his dedicated service to Catholic Charities Diocese of Gary. We're so looking forward to celebrating him at this year's Annual Gathering! #AG2024 https://bit.ly/4btq9PG
