January 10, 2025— Join the 2025 Cause Challenge!
A new year means new missions, goals, and ways to empower underserved communities. While you may have heard of St. Jude League Community Development‘s Cause Challenge, we believe this year’s challenge is one you don’t want to miss out on.
Be the Change: Select Your Cause
Participants in the 2025 Cause Challenge can choose to champion one or more transformative programs and projects following our mission focus on:
- Community Development – Strengthen neighborhoods through sustainable projects that foster growth and inclusivity.
- Health and Wellness – Enhance access to healthcare and promote mental and physical well-being.
- Education – Bridge gaps in learning and empower future generations with knowledge and opportunity.
- Humanitarian and Migrant Aid – Provide essential resources, shelter, and support to displaced families and individuals seeking refuge and stability.
Here’s the twist—rather than simply selecting a cause and following supporting it throughout the year, turn it into a personal fundraising mission! Share your Cause Challenge story on social media and by email, explaining why addressing this issue resonates with you. By doing so, you will surely inspire others to contribute to the same initiative or join the movement in their own unique way, multiplying your impact.
Building a New Community in Vancouver – Within our Health and Wellness programs, is an new community that the Claretians are building in Vancouver. Several Claretians accepted their new assignments in August of 2024 to support multiple areas of emotional and spiritual wellness in a neighborhood that is overlooked and desperately in need of help, a perfect fit for our Claretian mission to support a new ministry of vulnerable and marginalized people. In Vancouver, the Claretians are carrying out multiple ministries which touch all our mission areas: one works in the cathedral accompanying the Latino population, another in the port ministry, another at the Catholic High School as a high school chaplain, Ray works in a parish, Fr. James is involved in the hospital chaplaincy.

Following and supporting the Vancouver community’s growing mission from the ground up is a special and unique opportunity
