HTN: Catholic Charities in Appeal Push

Catholic Charities is hoping for a last minute fund raising push to meet it's goal. With about one week left in the annual campaign, the organization says it has raised six-and-a-half million dollars. That's about 60-percent of the 11-million dollar goal. Last year Catholic Charities fell short by about 300-thousand dollars. Bishop Edward Kmiec says the organization has seen a surge in demand for its services due to the tough economic times.
