Annual Report
Catholic Communications Campaign (CCC)
The 2024 Annual Report of the Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC), administered by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), emphasizes the vital role of effective, truthful communication in spreading the Gospel, building trust, and countering misinformation in a media-saturated world, continuing a tradition from biblical times to modern digital platforms. Generating revenues of $3.9 million through national collections and investments, the CCC distributed $3.5 million in grants, with allocations prioritizing media evangelization (60%), news and information services (31%), web-based resources (8%), and building media capacity (1%). Highlighted projects include the USCCB Daily Readings webpage, attracting over 29 million visits with Scripture texts, video reflections, and podcasts in English and Spanish; livestreamed mental health roundtables offering guidance on youth crises, clergy burnout, and family wellness; transparent live coverage of USCCB plenary meetings, such as the November session featuring insights on Ukraine's war victims; and funding for the Catholic News Service Rome bureau to report on Pope Francis's global ministry, including his 2024 apostolic journey to Asia promoting mercy and aid for the poor. Chaired by Bishop William D. Byrne of Springfield, this initiative equips the Church to share Christ's love and salvation, encouraging ongoing support to illuminate truth amid cynicism and despair.
