Ring of Charity Membership

Members Provide Vital Discretionary Funding

In 1994, the Ring of Charity was formed for supporters to support Catholic Charities with sustaining gifts that are generally above customary donations. Most members of the Ring join year after year.

Members of the Ring of Charity share an affinity with the core mission and work of Catholic Charities and express that commonality through their donations.  

Donations to the Ring of Charity provide discretionary funding to programs most in need, as determined by the Board of Directors and regional boards.

Each spring, Bishop Walsh celebrates a special mass for Ring of Charity members who wish to attend. A dinner or reception follows for members.

By joining, you will share more deeply in Catholic Charities’ commitment to provide help and create hope in our communities. Please join at any time!
