On behalf of everyone at Catholic Charities, thank you for joining us at the 2026 Spirit of Hope. Your presence and support at the event mean so much to us. Part of what made our first year at Highland Brewing so special was the sense of community cultivated around our shared mission to serve our neighbors in need. 

From the moving testimonial videos to the heartfelt remarks shared around filling the gaps where people get left behind, we were all reminded that the mission of Catholic Charities is about our shared call to build thriving communities throughout western North Carolina.

Did you miss a moment or want to share with those who couldn’t make it? Watch our video below.
