The Convocation of Catholic Leaders: The Joy of the Gospel in America
In July 2017, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops convened an unprecedented gathering of bishops and Catholic leaders for a strategic conversation about the future of the Church in the United States.
Six Cardinals, 145 bishops and 3500 priests, religious and laity participated in this historic event.
Catholic Development Group was one of three fundraising firms to attend the invitation-only event.

“At a time when people were giving up on the Gulf Coast, you gave us hope.”
“After Katrina we had nothing, no safety net, no phones, no mail, nothing. In a short period of time you were able to keep us from sinking by connecting us with people outside the region. Even before other institutions were able to think about making an appeal, we were receiving gifts that ultimately totaled hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most importantly, at a time when people were giving up on the gulf coast, you gave us hope.”
