 Heroes of Hope

Thank you to all who made this campaign an incredible success and helped to raise over $235,000 for those in need!


Sadly, pandemic restrictions caused the cancellation of the 2020 dinner. Instead, in October, 2020 Catholic Charities raised funds for those in need with a six-week virtual appeal honoring HEROES OF HOPE in our community who never stopped giving their time, talent and treasure during COVID-19.

Your support of our HEROES OF HOPE during the first-ever Guardian Angel Appeal provides funding directly to people in need of food, clothing, baby supplies, disaster relief and counseling in Armstrong, Fayette, Indiana and Westmoreland counties.


Thank you for your support and for being guardian angels for your community!
