7. Next weekend we will have the second collection. Catholic Charities of Southern New Mexico is called to enact the corporal works of mercy: that the hungry might be fed, the naked clothed, the homeless sheltered, the sick and imprisoned visited, the stranger welcomed, all with the dignity proper to the children of God. Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Las Cruces is the visible expression of the Catholic Church’s solidarity with persons in need.
