No Family Should Face Its Hardest Moments Alone
The Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini Family Accompaniment and Emergency Assistance Fund, known as the Cabrini Fund, provides temporary emergency assistance to immigrant families in the Diocese of Pittsburgh facing extraordinary hardship.
Established by Bishop Mark A. Eckman and administered by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, the fund responds to a growing need that parish pastors say now exceeds what any single parish can meet alone. Across the diocese’s six counties, immigrant families are facing sudden crises, including the loss of a household’s provider, unpaid rent or utility bills, urgent medical needs, and fear and uncertainty for their children.
Your gift helps ensure that no family faces its hardest moments alone.
How Your Gift Helps
The Cabrini Fund helps meet urgent needs when other resources are unavailable or insufficient.
Basic Needs
Food, clothing, diapers, hygiene items, and other necessities of daily life.
Housing Stability
Rent, utilities, and transportation that help keep a household stable.
Each family helped by the fund will also be accompanied by their parish with prayer, the sacraments, and a listening ear. Families will be connected with trusted partners for longer-term needs, including employment, schooling, health care, and qualified legal help.
