Grant a wish today and make a lifesaving difference.

You can help make Christmas brighter for those in need across our country by granting a Christmas wish. These communities are not looking for gifts tied with ribbons and bows—rather they are seeking your compassion through humble requests.

Christmas is truly a special time of year filled with peace, joy and love. We thank you for your generosity and for helping to keep the presence of the Catholic Church strong in our country.

It is our intention that your gifts be applied to your chosen wish. However, should your specified wish become fully funded before we receive your gift, your donation will be applied to a similar need.
