2021 House of Charity – Bishop’s Annual Appeal

As Saint Paul said, “even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance; and  endurance, proven character; and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us” (Romans 5:3-5).

Through the House of Charity – Bishop’s Annual Appeal, we strive to do that by reaching out to serve those  in need throughout the six counties of the Diocese of Camden.
