***COVID-19 Special Funding Available

The Coronavirus has impacted all of us, but it is our most vulnerable neighbors who are most at risk. The Diocese of Duluth is offering small grants to organizations engaged in assisting the poor, to help with the extra expenses needed in this once in a lifetime crisis. Grants will be limited to $800.

As Catholics, we believe in caring for people at all stages of life from conception until natural death – this is our social apostolate. We do this through programs such as CRS Ricebowl during Lent, exercising our right and duty to be faithful citizens, caring for the poor and needy of our society, and so much more. Check out the links on the right to find out more about our programs.
