“I believe you provide a very needed service for areas of this country that would falter in taking part in the prayers and rituals of the Catholic faith. It is difficult to practice your faith when you are a minority.”

“I love my Catholic faith! Although there have been more than a few rough times over the years raising six children and helping with nine grandchildren. I consider myself blessed. When I see so many parishes struggling to help with the most basic spiritual and economic needs of many souls, I know I must help. I also know you are very effective. May God continue to Bless your efforts.”
– Charles, St. Joseph
“I think Catholic Extension Society is a great way to remind us that missions are right here in our backyard, and that we need to support our Catholic brothers and sisters who may not otherwise be able to nuture their faith.”
– Bob and Kelly, Saints Faith Hope and Charity
