Support Catholic Charities of Orange County's Cantlay Summer Campaign. Due to recent federal and state budget cuts, Cantlay Food Distribution Center needs your help now more than ever.⁠
⁠
Cantlay operates throughout the year, providing vital support to families in need. Their work not only brings hope and stability to these families but also serves as a source of joy for our local children.⁠
⁠
Cantlay's commitment to giving, particularly during the holiday seasons, is truly commendable. The festive gifts they provide to children during Christmas and Easter bring smiles to their faces and create lasting memories, but on any given week, Cantlay supports OC families facing food insecurity. ⁠
⁠
Be the hope someone has been praying for, and give today.⁠

We are sharing another story from this year’s Inspirational Catholic Women Event. Nancy Shanafelt talks about her service to God and the power of prayer.

Nancy is a devoted member of Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, attending daily Mass and serving her parish faithfully. She and her mother converted to Catholicism when Nancy was a child, and her deep faith led her to join the Dominican Laity over 20 years ago, dedicating herself to prayer and service for the elderly. Nancy also supports Catholic Charities of Orange County living out our mission through her faith, volunteerism, and compassion for those in need. Her example shows how anyone can make a difference.
