“We desire to be able to welcome Jesus at Christmastime. Not in a cold manager of our heart, but in a heart full of love and humility, in a heart so pure, so immaculate, so warm with love for one another.” – St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta
By opening our hearts to one another, we also open our hearts to Jesus. One of the best ways to do this is by thinking of ways to give to others and help them experience the love of Christ. What better time than Christmas to share Jesus with others?
The following 5 Catholic causes are ways you can support this Christmas season. By giving to these causes, you are helping people throughout our diocese and world. Thank you for considering sharing your gifts and love for others through these causes.
During the Christmas season, it’s important to share the Good News with others and inspire them spread Jesus’ love to one another. One of the ways we can pass on these stories, not just during Christmas but all year long, is through On Mission Magazine.

As we welcome Jesus into our hearts at Christmastime, we should look for ways to help others find Him as well, especially for our young people. One way is by sharing your gifts with Camp Tekakwitha. For nearly 100 years, Camp Tekakwitha has been filled with opportunities to create deeper bonds with God and is committed to faith, friends, and fun!
Located on Loon Lake in Shawano, this camp is a sanctuary and holy space. Campers experience daily prayer, Adoration, Mass, and more as they explore God’s playground at Camp. As children build a relationship with Jesus, they make lifelong friends with other campers and enjoy activities such as kayaking, campfires with s’mores, and joining in prayer. Many children would not be able to afford the full cost of Camp without your support. These lifechanging experiences at Camp Tekakwitha are possible because of generous friends like you.
