houses three important Catholic Charities
programs: the Interfaith Shelter for
Homeless Families, Lourdeshouse

and has antiquated windows and HVAC system. The Hope
For All Community Service Campaign will allow The Saint
Samuel Center to accept disabled clients, as well as make
the structure energy efficient. We ask for prayerful and
monetary support to help our mission of providing for
women and families that are less fortunate. For more
information or to donate on line visit www.cchbg.org. To
donate via mail send your gift to: Diocesan Office of
Development, 4800 Union Deposit Road, Harrisburg, PA

Harrisburg with ‘Hope For All Campaign’ in the memo.
