YOUR GIFT – IN ANY AMOUNT – IS PRICELESS
When you make a donation to support our cause, you join with others who are investing in restoring our Church to what Jesus intended. If you are part of the movement to stop contributing to your local parish and/or diocese, you may want to take advantage of the end-of-year tax deductions by contributing to CCRI.
The dollars we receive are used to run our programs and to reach a broad spectrum of the People of God. We are focused on reaching out to the Faithful, reform activists, young adults as well as those who feel abandoned by the Church, to mention just a few. Your contributions in offering your suggestions and your donations are most appreciated.
To remain silent is to be complicit with our Church as it is now. If we do nothing, nothing is likely to happen. But if each of us is willing to do something, join a synodal gathering or start one of your own with a few close friends. Remember, where two or three are gathered in His name, there God is in the midst of them. Let’s all do our part to step out of the pews, to come together and speak. But none of us can do this alone. We need to join our voices and be a synodal Church to stay abreast of what is happening with each stage of the Synod from now through 2024.
Becoming a synodal Church will only happen if we, the People of God, stay involved.
On behalf of the CCRI steering committee,
Rene Reid
CCRI director
