In this holiday season, extended families are preparing, at long last, to gather around the table. After a year and a half of separation and isolation, we’re all eager to be together again.
Families will be catching up on the latest happenings, exchanging ideas and expressing gratitude for their many blessings.
Perhaps it’s a good time to discuss giving back — and passing on blessings received — as a family.
‘Tis the season for giving. Whether you surprise your “Advent Angel” or deliver a bag of groceries to a neighbor in need, it feels good to give. That means charitable giving too.

As we enter the holiday season, our greatest wish for you is to experience the joy of giving. But we know sometimes all of the tasks that come at this time of year can pile up — making our gift wrapping and check writing less joyful and more arduous.

As president of the Catholic Community Foundation of Minnesota (CCF), I have the honor each day of witnessing love in action. I see it in the little ways the CCF staff goes the extra mile to compassionately serve our donors, partners, and grantees. And I see it each week as we gather to pray for our community — both as a collective and for individuals by name.
And I see love in action in the diverse ways our donors, partners, and grantees serve others. With an enormous spirit of generosity and a deep desire to extend their Catholic values, they positively impact our community every day.
