Delivering food, shelter, and hope to the poorest of the poor
This Wells of Salvation activity guide coincides with the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops’ Liturgical Calendar. Its goal is to help families experience the joys of Catholic Social Teaching and the Corporal Works of Mercy by engaging in meaningful opportunities to recognize Christ in the poor. The weekly scripture readings are based on Sunday Mass readings throughout the 40 days of Lent that culminate in the celebration of Easter. Throughout the week, families can work together to complete our suggested Fundraising Activities or conduct fundraising projects of their own. Feel free to be creative in your use of this guide, incorporating your own ideas to enrich your experience.
Your compassion and generosity this Lent will provide clean water and transform lives!
Our mission is to mobilize the global Catholic Church to transform the poor and their communities materially and spiritually for the glory of Jesus Christ. Your gift empowers us to serve the poorest of the poor by channeling life-changing aid through an international network of dioceses, parishes and Catholic missionaries. This cost-effective approach helps break the cycle of poverty and advance Catholic evangelization.
