WHEREAS, Commonwealth Catholic Charities, an organization devoted to caring for individuals and families in need throughout the Commonwealth, celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2023; and

WHEREAS, CCC impacts the lives of over 34,000 men, women, and children each year, providing support and hope to individuals and families through a wide range of programs, including adoption and foster care, mental health counseling, refugee resettlement, food and financial support, and housing services; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the Senate of Virginia, That Commonwealth Catholic Charities hereby be commended on the occasion of its 100th anniversary of service to the citizens of Virginia; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the Senate prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Commonwealth Catholic Charities as an expression of the Senate of Virginia’s admiration and gratitude for the extremely important work of this dedicated organization.
