Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) and the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington DC honored Martin Luther King, Jr., by presenting awards to contemporary heroes during the “Keep the Dream Alive” Mass & Awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. The event took place during the celebration of Mass with Most Reverend Martin D. Holley, Archdiocese of Washington serving as presider and Monsignor Charles Pope, pastor of Holy Comforter-St. Cyprian as homilist.
Rev. Larry Snyder, President of CCUSA told the honorees, “We are inspired by our faith to serve the least among us, and I know that the work you do every day is similarly inspired.”
Preceding the event, more than 50 individuals participated in a volunteer day with the Harriet Tubman Women’s shelter and Joseph’s Coat of Many Colors Coat Closet, two programs of Catholic Charities working in the District of Columbia.
