The Catholic Charities Fund was
established four Years ago by men
of the four parishes of Muskingum
County to supplement the dona.
tions given in the Christmas col
lection in order to provide ade-
quate support for the orphaned,
neglected and dependent children
of the County who are cared for
by the Diocese. A goal of S8,384.O4
ha- been set for the 1943 campaign
which extends from May 10 to May

The Diocese of Columbus main
tains a Catholic Welfare Bureau
at II South Fourth Street, in
GAINESVILLE so that help can be To-
cally given wherever possible. Miss
Joyce Lawler is the supervisor of
the office and is the local worker
who helps parents plan for the
care of their children and who su-
pervises the care of children in
foster family homes. The Diocesan
children's homes, Saint Vincent's
Orphanage and Saint AIMS Infant
Home, as we'll as other Catholic in
stitutions, are used according to
the needs of the children.
Since January fst of this year,
80 Muskingum County families
have been helped by the Catholic
Welfare Bureau and the Catholic
Charities Fund. Included in these
families are 20 children who have
been helped while living in the
homes of their own parents and
26 children who have received
either full or partial support from
the Fund in institutions and foster
family homes. II is estimated that
the total cost of caring for Zanes-
vile families and children will cost
the Catholic Welfare Bureau and
the Catholic Charities Fund total
of Sl3,372 during 1853. Income
from parents and from other dona-
tons IS estimated at S4,983. The
goal of tie present campaign has
been set at S3,384
