On December 3rd, charities, families, businesses, community centers, churches, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.

Built on the gratitude felt during the Thanksgiving holiday season. #GivingTuesday was created in 2012 to counteract the spending of Black Friday and Cyber Monday with philanthropic giving to charities in need of support. It began in the U.S. and quickly made its way across more than 70 countries.

You can join fellow Cathollcs who are proud to say #IGiveCatholic on this unofficial kick-off to the year-end giving season, with your gift to a featured St. Benedict ministry:

#GiveYouth - YouthMinistry

#GiveEducation - Catholic education at St. Benedict School

#GiveKateri - Native American Ministry
