Catholic Charities
Merced, Ca
Catholic Charities was formed over a century ago to help those who are the most in need!
Every month, on the second weekend, St. Patrick's Parish takes up a second collection in support of Catholic Charities of Merced. These collections go directly to our local Catholic Charities office in support of Merced County. They utilize these fund to assist our community members with various essential living costs.
Every month on the third Friday, Catholic Charities holds a food distribution at our facility from 1pm until 3pm as supplies last.
On August 10, 2024, Catholic Charities held their annual Harvest of Hope at St. Patrick's Parish Hall.
Every year, an individual is chosen based on their dedication to their faith and community to be honored at the Harvest of Hope.
This year, the honoree was our very own Bob Scheuerman.
Bob is an excellent example of what it means to be Catholic and to go forth to share faith with family and community.
Please watch the 3 videos provided here by Catholic Charities for more information on this year's honoree and all the good Catholic Charities has done in our community over the past year with the help of Bob, our 2nd collections, and so many other generous hearts!
