'''Caritas Bosnia and Herzegovina''' ([[Serbo-Croatian]]: ''Caritas Bosne i Hercegovine'') is a [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] not-for-profit [[social welfare]] and [[humanitarian aid|humanitarian]] relief organisation in [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]]. It is a service of the [[Episcopal Conference of Bosnia and Herzegovina]] and a full member of both [[Caritas Europa]] and [[Caritas Internationalis]].

== Structure ==

The structure of Caritas is the same as the structure of the [[Catholic Church in Bosnia and Herzegovina]]. Caritas Bosnia and Herzegovina consists of the national office as well as of three regional, independent organisations, the so-called [[diocese|diocesan]] Caritas. All four entities support people affected by poverty in the country and contribute therewith to social integration. The three diocesan Caritas are:
* Caritas [[Roman Catholic diocese of Banja Luka|Banja Luka]] (''Caritas biskupija Banja Luka'')
* Caritas [[Roman Catholic diocese of Mostar|Mostar]] (''Caritas biskupija Mostar-Duvno i Trebinje-Mrkan'')
* Caritas [[Roman Catholic archdiocese of Sarajevo|Sarajevo]] (''Caritas Vrhbosanske nadbiskupije'')

The first diocesan Caritas in Czechoslovakia was established in the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Olomouc|Archdiocese of Olomouc]] with the aim of concentrating in one organisation the previously fragmented and uncoordinated charity efforts of the diocese. Caritas Slovakia was founded in 1927 with the same goal, under the name Central Carita in Slovakia (''Ústredná karita na Slovensku''). In 1928, the different Caritas organisations of Czechoslovakia united in a country-wide network to form the Imperial Headquarters of Charity Unions in Czechoslovakia (''Říšské ústředí Svazů charity v Československu''), which is considered to be the predecessor of [[Caritas Czech Republic]].
=== First Caritas in the 1930s ===


The current Caritas Croatia was established in 1992; however, the first local Caritas in the country was set up during the interwar period. In 1931, the Archbishop of Zagreb, [[Antun Bauer (archbishop)|Antun Bauer]], encouraged clergy to establish charitable organisations and on {{date|20 October 1933}}, the first diocesan Caritas in Croatia was founded in the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Zagreb|Zagreb Archdiocese]]. Its aim was to unite all existing charitable initiatives and efforts under one umbrella organisation to coordinate and organise the diocese's charitable work, following the model of [[Caritas Germany]].<ref name=25years>{{cite web |language= Croatian |url= https://ika.hkm.hr/vijesti/povijest-nastanka-i-djelovanje-hrvatskog-caritasa-kroz-25-godina/ |title= Povijest nastanka i djelovanje Hrvatskog Caritasa kroz 25 godina |date= 22 November 2018 |website= [[Informativna katolička agencija]] |access-date= 18 July 2024}}</ref> Two months later, [[Alojzije Stepinac]] was elected President of the organisation. By the following year, all except one [[parish]] in Zagreb had established their own Caritas committees. In January 1934, the magazine ''Karitas'' began publication.<ref name=HistoryPre92>{{cite web |language= Croatian |url= https://croativ.net/hrvatski-caritas-22124/ |title= Hrvatski Caritas |date= 23 June 2021 |website= croativ.net |access-date= 14 July 2024}}</ref>

Alojzije Stepinac became Bishop of Zagreb following the death of Archbishop Bauer in 1937. On 31 December 1938, he founded another organisation, Action for Aid to Refugees ({{lang-hr|Akciju za pripomoć izbjeglicama}}), specifically to help refugees with accommodation, food, medicine, and documentation.<ref name=Czechs>{{cite web |language= Croatian |url= https://hrvatska-povijest.hr/blazeni-alojzije-stepinac-i-cesi-od-barjaktara-iz-brna-do-spasitelja-progonjenih/ |title= Blaženi Alojzije Stepinac i Česi – od barjaktara iz Brna do spasitelja progonjenih |date= 10 February 2023 |website= hrvatska-povijest.hr | author= Marijan Lipovac |access-date= 14 July 2024}}</ref>
In today's premiere, we will present SRDIEČKO, a supplement to the magazine of the Central Caritas in Slovakia, CARITAS. Modified files sent to us by Nell1967. Thank you very much!
Slovak Catholic charity was established in the 1920s. In that period, associations were formed in the Church environment with the aim of bringing together believers who performed acts of piety, the promotion of public worship or Christian love. The first initiative that was supposed to stimulate the creation of charitable work in Slovakia was the meeting of the delegates of the episcopal ordinariates of the entire Czechoslovakia, which took place in January 1923.
However, a charitable organization with a nationwide reach was finally established at the beginning of 1927. Bishop Michal Bubnič, the apostolic administrator from Rožnav, became the initiator and the first chairman. It was called Central Caritas in Slovakia. In 1928, Spiš diocesan bishop Jan Vojtaššák took over the presidency, giving content and clear direction to the emerging charitable work. There was a period of great development of charity in the life of the Church in Slovakia. Several humanitarian events were organized (food, soup and milk, clothing events for children and the poor).
CARITAS magazine was published regularly with a supplement for children - HEART, which was considered one of the best magazines for children at that time.

During the [[Second World War]], Caritas Zagreb rescued thousands of children, safeguarded numerous refugees and exiles, and amassed and distributed thousands of tons of food. The organisation assisted Orthodox bishops and priests, provided aid and protection to persecuted and imprisoned Jews, protested against anti-Jewish laws, and advocated for and mediated the rescue of Jewish children, placing them under the care of Caritas. Following the war and the victory of the communist [[Yugoslav Partisans]], Caritas was banned on {{date|2 March 1946}}, with its property confiscated and transferred to the [[Croatian Red Cross|Red Cross]]. The director of Caritas in the Archdiocese of Zagreb Archdiocese, Dr. Vilim Nuk, was arrested and sentenced to six years in prison with forced labour.<ref name=HistoryPre92/><ref name=stamp>{{cite web |url= https://www.wopa-plus.com/en/stamps/product/&pgid=84958 |title= 90th Anniversary of the Establishment of Caritas of the Archdiocese of Zagreb (C) |date= 2023 |website= wopa-plus.cm |access-date= 14 July 2024}}</ref>
The history of Catholic Charity practice in the territory of Czechoslovakia has a long and varied past. In the first half of the 20th century, the new programme of church-organised Charity was established along the same lines as in Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France and the United States, concentrating fragmented and uncoordinated individual elements into a joint organisation with a national headquarters and regional branch offices within various dioceses. In the territory of Czechoslovakia, this modernisation process took place in several stages. First, a diocesan association of Charity was established in Olomouc (February 1922), followed by the other dioceses. A Slovak counterpart was established in 1927, named Ústredná Karita na Slovensku (Charity Centre in Slovakia). The country-wide network was established in 1928 when the individual provincial associations (Czech, Moravian-Silesian and Slovak) joined together to form the Říšské ústředí Svazů charity v Československu (Empire Centre of Charity Associations in Czechoslovakia).

Despite the ban on organized charity work, individuals continued with charity work. Starting 1962, the Catholic weekly Glas Koncila began to be published. It contained a column titled "Who is my neighbour?" in which persons could request help. The help that arrived at the address of Glas Koncil was sent to poor families in Zagreb, but also in other places. This initative was successful, and the Archdiocese of Zagreb wished to establish Caritas again. In 1967, Cardinal Franjo Šeper employed Jelena Brajša , with the aim of further promoting charitable activities. Due to the political restrictions, it was impossible to establish an independent Caritas. Therefore, Archbishop Franjo Šeper established the "Office for Liaison of the Bishops' Conference of Yugoslavia with Caritas Internationalis", upon suggestion of Caritas Internationalis representatives who met in Zagreb in 1968.<ref name=HistoryPre92/>

It was founded in 1927 on the initiative of religious people in Slovakia with the aim of ensuring the organizational side of the Church's social-charitable assistance to the poor. At the beginning of 1927, she took over material, health and cultural-educational assistance to the poorest. Branches were gradually established throughout Slovakia. In the 1950s, however, the state suspended its activities and only allowed the management of charity homes, where old and sick priests and religious sisters from closed and dissolved monasteries were concentrated and at the same time under control.
The present
After 1989, the charity was able to return to its original mission, and so at the beginning of 1991, its structure began to be created. Currently, the SKCH consists of 10 diocesan/archdiocesan charities (DCH) and the SKCH Secretariat. About 1,300 employees and 1,000 volunteers work at SKCH. It provides assistance to more than 23,000 people in need annually.


8 July 1969 was a turning point, when Jelena Brajša found a box with an living child in front of the office entrance. That event directed the future of Caritas of the Zagreb Archdiocese. Only during the first year after the acceptance of the first child, Caritas took care of sixty-five abandoned and rejected children, which is why it became recognizable in the country and abroad. To date, Caritas has taken care of more than 5,000 children.
At the beginning of the seventies, Caritas organized help for abandoned children, mothers and pregnant women, poor families and people with disabilities. The activity took place in almost impossible conditions, but it increased and expanded from year to year, supported by the ever stronger support of individuals and groups from the country and abroad.

=== Establishment of Caritas Croatia ===
19 January - 1927 - united charitable associations under the name Ústradná karita na Slovakia (at that time, its first activities included giving out soups to the unemployed, providing vouchers for meals and food for the poor) based in Bratislava, which was followed by the Slovak Catholic Charity (established by the Conference Bishops of Slovakia) with the main mission of providing charitable, social, medical, educational and other services to people in need, regardless of their race, nationality, religion and political opinion - Slovak Catholic Charity is an official member of the umbrella organization of national charities around the world, based in the Vatican Caritas Internationalis and is also represented in its regional branch Caritas Europa, where it participates in the activities of the Poverty Working Group
In December 1989, the [[Episcopal Conference of Yugoslavia]] (BKJ) created the Central Committee of Caritas BKJ to oversee all diocesan Caritas organisations being formed in Yugoslavia at that time. This committee was dissolved on {{date|1 January 1993}} and succeeded by Caritas Croatia, whose statutes were ratified during a meeting of the Croatian bishops on 9 June 1992.<ref name=historicaloverview/>

2023 stamps 90th anniversary creation Caritas Zagreb<ref name=stamp/>
Exactly ninety-five years ago, the history of the largest charitable organization in Slovakia began to be written. The Slovak Catholic Charity (SKCH) was established in 1927 at the request of Pope Pius XI. At that time, the Church already committed itself to social, health, and educational care in addition to spiritual care, and it was charity that was supposed to relieve the burden of priests, give help an organizational structure, and bring the gospel of love for one's neighbor from the Bible among people. "The history of charity is intertwined with the history of institutional and social care, and although many of us have forgotten it, it was the church that in the past took care of the needy, established schools, boarding schools, orphanages, old women's homes, sanatoriums and other charitable facilities." says Erich Hulman, general secretary of SKCH.
During the war and immediately after it, the charity helped refugees and children who had lost their parents, the starving, searched for those missing from the war, cared for the handicapped and placed them in specialized institutions. Health clinics, dental clinics for children, kindergartens, homes for abandoned children or shelters for the poor and unemployed, which the charity established at the time, were nationalized and expropriated from the hands of the church, which the communist regime considered an ideological enemy, after the February coup in 1948. The charity could only manage homes in which men and women religious and older priests from abolished monasteries were interned, which was in line with the state propaganda effort to deny any existence of the poor, unemployed or handicapped in the newly established regime. Despite this, islands of resistance and concentrated help for the needy emerged in the ranks of charity.
Only the gentle revolution and the fall of the totalitarian regime in 1989 enabled the redevelopment of the charity work. In 1991, the Bishops' Conference of Slovakia decided to restore charity activities in individual dioceses, and diocesan charities with headquarters in Bratislava, Trnava, Nitra, Žilina, Banská Bystrica, Rožňava, Spišská Nová Ves, Prešov and Košice were gradually established. In 1995, the (arch)diocesan charities became legally independent and currently form a confederation of 10 equal members united in the Slovak Catholic Charity. Through 345 facilities and services in Slovakia and dozens of projects abroad, they help approximately 23,000 people in need every year.
CHARITY'S ROLE TODAY
During its existence, the charity contributed significantly to the development of social and health care in Slovakia. She founded the 1st hospice and still plays an irreplaceable role in hospice care, runs a children's home for terminally ill children, the only one of its kind in the non-state sector, helps with natural disasters, such as the tornado in Moravia, but also in war-torn Ukraine and persecuted Christians in the Near East East. For many years, it has been bringing sensitivity to people's hearts towards the sufferings of their neighbors, mitigating the effects of poverty in larger and smaller cities and resocializing people outside society. As Pope Francis says, we will always have the poor among us, but in their presence we can learn to share the gifts we have received.
"The past proves that Christianity has the power to bring reconciliation and hope to society in any situation. The task of the charity is to help this voice and bring the gospel of love to life in concrete acts of help," says General Secretary Erich Hulman. "People at the charity know that we live as many lives as we can really help, and that message remains relevant today."
The commemoration of the 95th anniversary will accompany the activities and campaigns of the Slovak Catholic Charity throughout the year.

Spišská Nová Ves, January 30 (TASR) - This year, the Slovak Catholic Charity (SKCH) commemorates 90 years of its activity aimed at helping the needy in Slovakia and abroad. One of the events to commemorate the jubilee was the SKCH Ball. It took place on Saturday, January 28 in the premises of Reduta in Spišská Nová Ves. TASR was informed about this by Petra Lisoňová.
SKCH was established in 1927, when the statutes of the Central Caritas in Slovakia (ÚKS) were approved. After the development of charity work in Slovakia, the activity of the ÚKS was limited by the state in 1948-1950. Collections for charity were gradually banned and ÚKS was entrusted only with the care of charity homes. After 1989, there was a redevelopment of the charity work, while the name was also changed from ÚKS to SKCH. Currently, SKCH helps approximately 23,000 people in need through a network of ten diocesan and archdiocesan charities. Through them, SKCH provides services to seniors, terminally ill people, people with physical or mental disabilities, children, mothers with children in crisis situations, severely disabled people and homeless people in almost 290 facilities, mainly health and social services.
The SKCH Ball was one of the upcoming events on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the SKCH. "With the ball and accompanying program, we want to bring closer and thank you for our 90 years of activity in Slovakia and abroad. I believe that the proceeds from the ball will support the activities of several of our facilities," said SKCH General Secretary Radovan Gumulák.
SKCH is the largest charitable organization in Slovakia that provides social, health and educational services. It helps with humanitarian aid after natural disasters or social conflicts and effective development cooperation. It operates in countries such as Uganda, Rwanda, India, Vietnam, Albania, Kenya, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Haiti. Through its membership in Caritas Internationalis and Caritas Europa, the work and activity of SKCH is internationally coordinated and connected with other worldwide charitable organizations.


The structure of Caritas is the same as the structure of the [[Catholic Church in Croatia]]. Caritas Croatia consists of the national office as well as of 17 regional, independent Caritas organisations in Croatia. They work in 16 [[dioceses]] and archdioceses and in the [[military ordinariate]]. They implement social projects locally. Together with Caritas Croatia, they xxx. The diocesan Caritas organisations support people affected by poverty in Croatia and contribute therewith to social integration.

Bratislava, January 19 (TASR) - The Slovak Catholic Charity (SKCH) is celebrating 95 years of activity aimed at helping the needy in Slovakia and abroad. The venerable age will be commemorated in activities throughout the year, to which partners, donors and the general public are invited.

SKCH was established in 1927 at the request of Pope Pius XI. At that time, the Church already committed to itself, in addition to spiritual, social, health and educational care, and it was charity that was supposed to relieve priests and bring the gospel of love for one's neighbor from the Bible to people. "The history of charity is largely intertwined with the history of institutional and social care, and although many of us have forgotten it, it was the church that in the past took care of the needy, established schools, boarding schools, orphanages, old women's homes, sanatoriums and other charitable facilities." said SKCH general secretary Erich Hulman.

During the war and immediately after it, the charity helped refugees and children who had lost their parents, the starving, searched for those missing from the war, cared for the handicapped and placed them in specialized institutions. Health clinics, dental clinics for children, kindergartens, homes for abandoned children or shelters for the poor and unemployed, which the charity established at the time, were nationalized after the February coup in 1948 and expropriated from the hands of the church, which the communist regime considered an ideological enemy.
* Caritas of the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Požega|Diocese of Požega]]<!--Caritas Požeške biskupije-->
It was not until the Gentle Revolution and the fall of the totalitarian regime in 1989 that the charitable work was allowed to redevelop. In 1991, the Bishops' Conference of Slovakia decided to restore charity activities in individual dioceses, and diocesan charities with headquarters in Bratislava, Trnava, Nitra, Žilina, Banská Bystrica, Rožňava, Spišská Nová Ves, Prešov and Košice were gradually established. In 1995, (arch)diocesan charities became legally independent, currently they form a confederation of ten equal members united in SKCH. Through 345 facilities and services in Slovakia and dozens of projects abroad, they help approximately 23,000 people in need every year. "The past proves that it is Christianity that has the power to bring reconciliation and hope to society in any situation. The task of charity is to help this voice and bring the gospel of love to life in concrete acts of help," noted Hulman.

Caritas Slovakia is a member of both Caritas Europa and Caritas Internationalis.

History

[edit]

The first diocesan Caritas in Czechoslovakia was established in the Archdiocese of Olomouc with the aim of concentrating in one organisation the previously fragmented and uncoordinated charity efforts of the diocese. Caritas Slovakia was founded in 1927 with the same goal, under the name Central Carita in Slovakia (Ústredná karita na Slovensku). In 1928, the different Caritas organisations of Czechoslovakia united in a country-wide network to form the Imperial Headquarters of Charity Unions in Czechoslovakia (Říšské ústředí Svazů charity v Československu), which is considered to be the predecessor of Caritas Czech Republic.


[2] In today's premiere, we will present SRDIEČKO, a supplement to the magazine of the Central Caritas in Slovakia, CARITAS. Modified files sent to us by Nell1967. Thank you very much! Slovak Catholic charity was established in the 1920s. In that period, associations were formed in the Church environment with the aim of bringing together believers who performed acts of piety, the promotion of public worship or Christian love. The first initiative that was supposed to stimulate the creation of charitable work in Slovakia was the meeting of the delegates of the episcopal ordinariates of the entire Czechoslovakia, which took place in January 1923. However, a charitable organization with a nationwide reach was finally established at the beginning of 1927. Bishop Michal Bubnič, the apostolic administrator from Rožnav, became the initiator and the first chairman. It was called Central Caritas in Slovakia. In 1928, Spiš diocesan bishop Jan Vojtaššák took over the presidency, giving content and clear direction to the emerging charitable work. There was a period of great development of charity in the life of the Church in Slovakia. Several humanitarian events were organized (food, soup and milk, clothing events for children and the poor). CARITAS magazine was published regularly with a supplement for children - HEART, which was considered one of the best magazines for children at that time.

[3] The history of Catholic Charity practice in the territory of Czechoslovakia has a long and varied past. In the first half of the 20th century, the new programme of church-organised Charity was established along the same lines as in Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France and the United States, concentrating fragmented and uncoordinated individual elements into a joint organisation with a national headquarters and regional branch offices within various dioceses. In the territory of Czechoslovakia, this modernisation process took place in several stages. First, a diocesan association of Charity was established in Olomouc (February 1922), followed by the other dioceses. A Slovak counterpart was established in 1927, named Ústredná Karita na Slovensku (Charity Centre in Slovakia). The country-wide network was established in 1928 when the individual provincial associations (Czech, Moravian-Silesian and Slovak) joined together to form the Říšské ústředí Svazů charity v Československu (Empire Centre of Charity Associations in Czechoslovakia).

[4] [5] It was founded in 1927 on the initiative of religious people in Slovakia with the aim of ensuring the organizational side of the Church's social-charitable assistance to the poor. At the beginning of 1927, she took over material, health and cultural-educational assistance to the poorest. Branches were gradually established throughout Slovakia. In the 1950s, however, the state suspended its activities and only allowed the management of charity homes, where old and sick priests and religious sisters from closed and dissolved monasteries were concentrated and at the same time under control. The present After 1989, the charity was able to return to its original mission, and so at the beginning of 1991, its structure began to be created. Currently, the SKCH consists of 10 diocesan/archdiocesan charities (DCH) and the SKCH Secretariat. About 1,300 employees and 1,000 volunteers work at SKCH. It provides assistance to more than 23,000 people in need annually.


[6] 19 January - 1927 - united charitable associations under the name Ústradná karita na Slovakia (at that time, its first activities included giving out soups to the unemployed, providing vouchers for meals and food for the poor) based in Bratislava, which was followed by the Slovak Catholic Charity (established by the Conference Bishops of Slovakia) with the main mission of providing charitable, social, medical, educational and other services to people in need, regardless of their race, nationality, religion and political opinion - Slovak Catholic Charity is an official member of the umbrella organization of national charities around the world, based in the Vatican Caritas Internationalis and is also represented in its regional branch Caritas Europa, where it participates in the activities of the Poverty Working Group


[7] Exactly ninety-five years ago, the history of the largest charitable organization in Slovakia began to be written. The Slovak Catholic Charity (SKCH) was established in 1927 at the request of Pope Pius XI. At that time, the Church already committed itself to social, health, and educational care in addition to spiritual care, and it was charity that was supposed to relieve the burden of priests, give help an organizational structure, and bring the gospel of love for one's neighbor from the Bible among people. "The history of charity is intertwined with the history of institutional and social care, and although many of us have forgotten it, it was the church that in the past took care of the needy, established schools, boarding schools, orphanages, old women's homes, sanatoriums and other charitable facilities." says Erich Hulman, general secretary of SKCH. During the war and immediately after it, the charity helped refugees and children who had lost their parents, the starving, searched for those missing from the war, cared for the handicapped and placed them in specialized institutions. Health clinics, dental clinics for children, kindergartens, homes for abandoned children or shelters for the poor and unemployed, which the charity established at the time, were nationalized and expropriated from the hands of the church, which the communist regime considered an ideological enemy, after the February coup in 1948. The charity could only manage homes in which men and women religious and older priests from abolished monasteries were interned, which was in line with the state propaganda effort to deny any existence of the poor, unemployed or handicapped in the newly established regime. Despite this, islands of resistance and concentrated help for the needy emerged in the ranks of charity. Only the gentle revolution and the fall of the totalitarian regime in 1989 enabled the redevelopment of the charity work. In 1991, the Bishops' Conference of Slovakia decided to restore charity activities in individual dioceses, and diocesan charities with headquarters in Bratislava, Trnava, Nitra, Žilina, Banská Bystrica, Rožňava, Spišská Nová Ves, Prešov and Košice were gradually established. In 1995, the (arch)diocesan charities became legally independent and currently form a confederation of 10 equal members united in the Slovak Catholic Charity. Through 345 facilities and services in Slovakia and dozens of projects abroad, they help approximately 23,000 people in need every year. CHARITY'S ROLE TODAY During its existence, the charity contributed significantly to the development of social and health care in Slovakia. She founded the 1st hospice and still plays an irreplaceable role in hospice care, runs a children's home for terminally ill children, the only one of its kind in the non-state sector, helps with natural disasters, such as the tornado in Moravia, but also in war-torn Ukraine and persecuted Christians in the Near East East. For many years, it has been bringing sensitivity to people's hearts towards the sufferings of their neighbors, mitigating the effects of poverty in larger and smaller cities and resocializing people outside society. As Pope Francis says, we will always have the poor among us, but in their presence we can learn to share the gifts we have received. "The past proves that Christianity has the power to bring reconciliation and hope to society in any situation. The task of the charity is to help this voice and bring the gospel of love to life in concrete acts of help," says General Secretary Erich Hulman. "People at the charity know that we live as many lives as we can really help, and that message remains relevant today." The commemoration of the 95th anniversary will accompany the activities and campaigns of the Slovak Catholic Charity throughout the year. On this occasion, the charity is launching a new e-shop with an offer of products from the countries where its humanitarian and development projects are taking place, and an offer of products created in charity facilities in Slovakia. The e-shop will be available at the end of January. You can find more information on how to get involved in helping on the website www.charita.sk.


[8] Currently, SKCH helps approximately 23,000 people in need through a network of ten diocesan and archdiocesan charities. Author TASR January 30, 2017 1:34 p.m Spišská Nová Ves, January 30 (TASR) - This year, the Slovak Catholic Charity (SKCH) commemorates 90 years of its activity aimed at helping the needy in Slovakia and abroad. One of the events to commemorate the jubilee was the SKCH Ball. It took place on Saturday, January 28 in the premises of Reduta in Spišská Nová Ves. TASR was informed about this by Petra Lisoňová. SKCH was established in 1927, when the statutes of the Central Caritas in Slovakia (ÚKS) were approved. After the development of charity work in Slovakia, the activity of the ÚKS was limited by the state in 1948-1950. Collections for charity were gradually banned and ÚKS was entrusted only with the care of charity homes. After 1989, there was a redevelopment of the charity work, while the name was also changed from ÚKS to SKCH. Currently, SKCH helps approximately 23,000 people in need through a network of ten diocesan and archdiocesan charities. Through them, SKCH provides services to seniors, terminally ill people, people with physical or mental disabilities, children, mothers with children in crisis situations, severely disabled people and homeless people in almost 290 facilities, mainly health and social services. The SKCH Ball was one of the upcoming events on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the SKCH. "With the ball and accompanying program, we want to bring closer and thank you for our 90 years of activity in Slovakia and abroad. I believe that the proceeds from the ball will support the activities of several of our facilities," said SKCH General Secretary Radovan Gumulák. SKCH is the largest charitable organization in Slovakia that provides social, health and educational services. It helps with humanitarian aid after natural disasters or social conflicts and effective development cooperation. It operates in countries such as Uganda, Rwanda, India, Vietnam, Albania, Kenya, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Haiti. Through its membership in Caritas Internationalis and Caritas Europa, the work and activity of SKCH is internationally coordinated and connected with other worldwide charitable organizations.


[9] The anniversary of Catholic charity reminds us that the mission of the church is to help The commemoration of the 95th anniversary will accompany the charity's activities and campaigns throughout the year. Author TASR January 19, 2022 11:43 am Bratislava, January 19 (TASR) - The Slovak Catholic Charity (SKCH) is celebrating 95 years of activity aimed at helping the needy in Slovakia and abroad. The venerable age will be commemorated in activities throughout the year, to which partners, donors and the general public are invited. At the same time, SKCH reminds that the mission of the church is and always has been to help. TASR was informed about this by Monika Molnárová from SKCH. SKCH was established in 1927 at the request of Pope Pius XI. At that time, the Church already committed to itself, in addition to spiritual, social, health and educational care, and it was charity that was supposed to relieve priests and bring the gospel of love for one's neighbor from the Bible to people. "The history of charity is largely intertwined with the history of institutional and social care, and although many of us have forgotten it, it was the church that in the past took care of the needy, established schools, boarding schools, orphanages, old women's homes, sanatoriums and other charitable facilities." said SKCH general secretary Erich Hulman. During the war and immediately after it, the charity helped refugees and children who had lost their parents, the starving, searched for those missing from the war, cared for the handicapped and placed them in specialized institutions. Health clinics, dental clinics for children, kindergartens, homes for abandoned children or shelters for the poor and unemployed, which the charity established at the time, were nationalized after the February coup in 1948 and expropriated from the hands of the church, which the communist regime considered an ideological enemy. It was not until the Gentle Revolution and the fall of the totalitarian regime in 1989 that the charitable work was allowed to redevelop. In 1991, the Bishops' Conference of Slovakia decided to restore charity activities in individual dioceses, and diocesan charities with headquarters in Bratislava, Trnava, Nitra, Žilina, Banská Bystrica, Rožňava, Spišská Nová Ves, Prešov and Košice were gradually established. In 1995, (arch)diocesan charities became legally independent, currently they form a confederation of ten equal members united in SKCH. Through 345 facilities and services in Slovakia and dozens of projects abroad, they help approximately 23,000 people in need every year. "The past proves that it is Christianity that has the power to bring reconciliation and hope to society in any situation. The task of charity is to help this voice and bring the gospel of love to life in concrete acts of help," noted Hulman. The commemoration of the 95th anniversary will accompany the charity's activities and campaigns throughout the year. On this occasion, the charity is launching a new e-shop with an offer of products from the countries where its humanitarian and development projects are taking place, and an offer of products created in charity facilities in Slovakia.
