Please consider helping us support our Catholic community in Charleston by becoming a sponsor for our Annual Fall Fellowship Dinner on October 24th.

As you know we work to raise funds and encourage volunteers to serve our Catholic Christian community in Charleston. In the last year through the generosity of our Catholic Christian brothers and sisters we have raised more than $40,000 that went to support among others:

• South Carolina Catholic Radio
• The Daughters of Saint Paul
• Our Lady of Mercy Outreach
• Campus Ministry at the College of Charleston
• Three individual Catholic parishes hard-hit by last year’s floods
• The launch of WBEI, Bishop England High School’s new low-powered FM Catholic radio station

Our largest fundraising event is our Annual Fall Fellowship Dinner at the Diocese Meeting Hall on Orange Grove Road in Charleston. Because we are a volunteer-run organization our overhead is very modest, so your support goes a long way.

Please prayerfully consider joining us in October as a dinner sponsor.  Deadline for sponsorships is October 13, 2019.  E-mail Frank Dirks for additional information.

Many of us may feel that revelations of scandal demonstrate that our Church leaders are failing us, but if we do not believe Christ in the Eucharist then we are failing Our Lord.

Judge Arthur McFarland shares the moving story of his Catholic-faith journey. Growing up in segregated Charleston and converting to Catholicism Judge McFarland encountered social obstacles even within the Church. Yet over time he found his faith in Christ and His Church grow stronger through the Sacraments. As he underscored, the faith of African American Catholics offers powerful testimony to the saving power of Christ, since their faith was manifest despite the sometime inhospitable institution of the Church and its leadership.
