Fall is coming (hopefully)! Cooler temperatures, beautiful mornings and amazing sunsets are something I am looking forward to!

Arizona offers freedoms not available in all 50 states, including the ability to choose how a portion of our state tax dollars are spent to support quality, Catholic education, and a parent’s right to choose the educational opportunity that best meets their children’s needs.  At Catholic Education Arizona, your AZ tax credit helps provide the education every child deserves, regardless of their family’s income, at ultimately no cost to you!

As the season of charitable giving approaches, it’s important to recognize our ability to maximize our Arizona tax dollars by “stacking tax credits” and supporting all our worthy causes.

Need is defined in several ways. Primary needs include the need for food, safety, clothing and shelter.   For most, these needs are easily accessible, yet, to many, they are not easily within reach.  Thank you to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul that makes its’ mission to feed, clothe, house and heal to help end the cycle of poverty, and the FSL that provides home and community-based services and develops energy-efficient, affordable housing to promote health, independence and dignity for all.

Family, friendship and community are important for people to satisfy their social and spiritual needs. Spiritual needs include the need for meaning and purpose, as well as the need for forgiveness, creativity and hope.  Catholic Charities Community Services helps our community’s most vulnerable with solutions that permanently improve lives, making miracles happen every day.

Through individuals and corporations working together, we will continue to change lives, serve society and together, transform culture!  Bring on the cooler weather!

Blessings,
