Thanks to support from so many organizations and individuals, 2018 has been a very good year for Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan (CCSEM)! Because of all of you, our ministries continue to grow and thrive! Some highlights of CCSEM's year include: · Hosting our first annual Sports Impact Luncheon in October, bringing together 600 high school students from the Detroit metro area for an open panel discussion about the impact of the opioid epidemic. · Opening our new Monroe crisis intervention center, the Saint Joseph Center of Hope, to help those in active addiction, providing safety, an opportunity to stabilize, and recovery planning. · Expanding our Project Hope pro-life ministry to offer the program in more office locations to serve a greater number of expecting mothers. We have many more plans to bring the works of mercy to those in need in southeast Michigan. Please keep us in your prayers. You are always in ours! We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a blessed and Happy New Year!
