Overview
Through websites, social networks, television, radio, and print, the Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC) helps the Church spread the Gospel message through the media locally and nationally. Half of all donations to the CCC collected in your diocese stay in your diocese to support your local communications needs, such as radio and television programming and diocesan publications.

Scholarships
CCC funds also support communications projects in developing areas of the world where the Church is growing but lacking in resources. The CCC supports the Cardinal Foley Scholarship program which provides funds for training Catholic Communicators from those areas of the world so that they have the tools necessary to spread the Gospel message in the 21st century.
Diocesan Collection
When a Diocese collects funds for the CCC, 50% of the proceeds remain within those dioceses for communications projects and initiatives. Examples include website enhancements, studio equipment for audio and video recording, social media strategy and implementation, news and event coverage, and much more.
“Try to promote a communication that can heal the wounds of our humanity...help to spread a culture of care, build bridges, and break down the visible and invisible barriers of the present time. Tell stories steeped in hope, be concerned about our common destiny, and strive to write together the history of our future."
