Caritas campaign promotes intergenerational solidarity through church collections

The Caritas annual campaign, themed ‘Together we can achieve something. Caritas connects generations’, is being highlighted through special collections in Catholic church services. The initiative focuses on fostering social cohesion and bridging the gap between different age groups to address challenges such as demographic change and social inequality.

Donations collected during these services are distributed according to diocesan regulations: 50 percent remains within the local parish to fund charitable tasks, while the remaining 50 percent is allocated to Caritas work at the diocesan level. The campaign emphasizes the importance of intergenerational exchange, combining the experience of older citizens with the perspectives of younger generations to strengthen community support.
