Ways You Can Help
St. Francis Home for Youth Needs Your Help!
A message from Deacon Anthony Willoughby: The youth at St Francis Home, while safe, are confined to their group homes to comply with social distancing. It is with great humility that I ask if you could help us to keep them active. I am humbly aware of the tough and troubling times that we are experiencing and this “ask” is not something I do lightly, but our youth are so important to me that I believe this will give them a sense of certainty in these uncertain times. Here are some of the items we need: - board games
- videos
- gift cards to procure them some special meals (McDonalds, Chick–fil-A, Wendy’s, Burger King etc.; $5.00 dollar denominations)
- coloring books, word spell, word finds, etc.
- small electronics
Please mail requested items to:

Emergency Relief Fund – Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia
As result of COVID-19, Catholic Social Services food pantries are experiencing a shortage of food and personal items due to their increase in client volume, with some pantries seeing a 100% increase. It’s become nearly impossible for them to accommodate each individual and family that visits them. Please consider a donation to CFGP’s ERF to purchase supplies for the CSS food pantries that are trying to feed those impacted by COVID-19. 100% of ERF’s proceeds will go directly to the food pantries.
Parish Support Initiative
As we navigate the dynamic and ever-evolving health crisis involving the COVID-19 pandemic, The Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia (CFGP), is diligently working to respond to the needs of our faith community at every level. The suspension of the public celebration of Mass had directly impacted our parish communities in many ways. As a result, the CFGP has established the Parish Support Initiative.
