Ways to Give

Your Generosity Can Transform Lives

As Catholics, we are called to serve the poorest among us by enabling vibrant faith communities to grow.

You can help change lives and make a profound impact on the future of isolated and under-resourced faith communities—their leaders, ministries and church buildings—through a gift to The Catholic Extension Society.

A gift to The Catholic Extension Society can reflect your values and your desire to strengthen Catholic communities, while also providing for your loved ones. We offer several giving opportunities for people of all incomes and varying goals. Whichever giving options you choose, your thoughtful generosity will make a lasting impact on faith communities in the poorest regions of our country for generations to come.
