Dear CMCS Men and Friends,
A generous CMCS Man is matching every donation made, up to $800! We're continuing this fundraising effort on the Men's Forum event registration page, and we're nearly at our goal. We kindly invite you to prayerfully consider contributing any amount. Even modest donations can make a significant impact—gifts ranging from $5 to $100 from just a few dozen supporters have brought us this far. Just think about how much we could achieve together with hundreds of us participating! Don't hesitate! Your support is crucial to the success of this campaign. Donate today and help us keep our Catholic mission thriving!
In Christ,
Frank J Casella
CMCS Executive Director

The CMCS Team is committed to promoting men's holiness by focusing on the fundamental tenets of the Catholic faith, ensuring that Christ remains our Center. We recognize the essential roles that husbands and fathers play in shaping their children's lives and nurturing the family. Our goal is to establish a lasting legacy that impacts at least three generations. We encourage you to engage with us in this important endeavor. |

Once again, as you consider your ability to give, please take into consideration:
At CMCS Apostolate and CMCSMen.net, we face the challenge of operating without financial reserves, relying solely on the goodwill of those we serve.
This situation may seem daunting, but it also inspires a unique solution: our dedication to functioning debt-free. We prioritize transparency and efficiency by ensuring that our resources are distributed free of charge, effectively reaching thousands of men within the archdiocese at a minimal cost.
With a team of committed volunteers and an annual budget of less than $5,000, we successfully minimize expenses—our director does not draw a salary, and we avoid overhead costs by utilizing home offices. This model not only ensures that every contribution goes directly to serving our community but also exemplifies our trust in God's providence and the generosity of our supporters.
This campaign determines whether we will have the means to continue in 2025.
