Once again, as you consider your ability to give, please take into consideration:
- We have never had financial reserves: CMCS Apostolate / CMCSMen.net is entirely user-supported, trusting day by day in God's providence and depending totally on the generosity of the people we serve.
- We do not seek to raise more funds than we need: our resources are distributed absolutely free of charge, reaching thousands men around the archdiocese each year—at a cost of only pennies per person served.
- We are committed to keeping costs at a minimum: The CMCS Team is all volunteer, and the director earns no full-time salary, and no rent or utilities costs are incurred as we utilize home offices, keeping our annual budget less than $4,000!
This campaign determines whether we will have the means to continue in 2023. |

Only support from those who value our work can keep this apostolate going.
And if you cannot give,
please pray.

In All Circumstantes Give Thanks
When I sit in the presence of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and give thanks for life and every breath I take, I realize how much it's more about the big picture of things and less about me.
"In all circumstances, give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thes. 5:18
Thanksgiving is a time to spend with family and friends to break bread together and have fellowship.
A time to be grateful for food, shelter, and clothing. A time to remember those before us who worked and believed in the legacy of America.
Thanksgiving Day Prayer
Lord, we thank you for the goodness of our people
and for the spirit of justice that fills this nation.
We thank you for the beauty and fullness of the land
and the challenge of the cities.
We thank you for our work and our rest,
for one another, and for our homes.
We thank you, Lord: accept our thanksgiving on this day.
We pray and give thanks through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
