A message from Catholic Charities of Santa Clara’s CEO, Gregory R. Kepferle. "Dear Friends, We need your help now to end the federal policy of detaining families at the border. Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County urges the federal administration to immediately stop criminalizing immigrants seeking refuge from harm and death. We urge Congress to take action to stop the administration from detaining families and children who are fleeing violence and oppression..."

Dear Friends, On behalf of Catholic Charities, I want to wish you and your loved ones a very blessed Easter. At Catholic Charities, we experience the joy of the Risen Christ when we encounter Him in those rejected by society. As Pope Francis reminds us, “Above all care for the poor.” Every day we witness the joy of the Resurrection in refugee orphans who find safety from violence; in hungry seniors and children who are nourished with daily hot meals; in seniors whose lives are enriched through our senior centers and care services; in people with disabilities who enjoy social and spiritual enrichment; in former inmates and job seekers who find gainful employment; in children and youth who learn and grow through our early childhood and after-school programs; in immigrants whose families are reunited; in people living with mental illness who find healing and hope through our behavioral health services; in families struggling with homelessness or increasing rents, who find affordable housing through our Charities Housing apartments; in the survivors of the flood whose lives are rebuilt; and in struggling neighborhoods that are transformed into communities of hope. Thank you for all your generous support as we work to build a just and compassionate community that cares first for those who are poor! Happy Easter! Gregory R. Kepferle, CEO Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County
