THE UPRISE LONG GAME
What do we ultimately hope the UPRISE global Catholic generosity movement will achieve?
UPRISE’s vision is to inspire young adults to stand up, be proud, be generous sharing their God-given talents, and carry on their developing Catholic faith, helping the Catholic Church continue to grow and strengthen throughout generations to come.
It’s about encouraging next generations to create a more loving world through generosity - - filling their own and others’ hearts with love over a lifetime, especially in the midst of today’s material and secular distractions. After all, even a small, thoughtful gesture has the potential to grow into a widespread difference in people’s lives.
All of this generosity is ultimately returned in gratitude to God, all for His greater glory and praise!
The more folks join UPRISE, the more difference we can all make, together! Remember, we cannot possibly outmatch God in His generosity!
BEGINNING
The first three years has been the building of excitement for and awareness of the UPRISE movement; encouraging the commitment of young men and women, empowering young adults in schools, parishes, and families to make a difference, and inspiring others to join UPRISE. Together, we will help the movement continue to globally grow!
MIDDLE
At this point with thousands who have joined UPRISE, we are now eager to form around the globe communities of care! We want to help build each other up, connect with those around us, encourage and support those UPRISE movement-makers who have committed to sharing their acts of care and compassion.
The UPRISE movement is reaching critical masses - - and communities in 50 countries around the world are connected through social media to learn from each other, share experiences, and further the movement. UPRISE movement-makers find personal meaning and purpose through UPRISE, which inspires and encourages others they know to join us!
NEVER ENDING
All those committed to perform Works of Mercy can download a poster-sized certificate to serve as a goal-setting tool, badge tracker, and reminder of the many ways one can help others in need throughout the year and throughout life. Each of the 14 Works of Mercy has a downloadable badge you can add onto your certificate as you earn them, but UPRISE isn’t over if you’ve earned all 14! Just as with extending Pope Francis’ 2016 Jubilee Year of Mercy, our goal with UPRISE is to inspire a commitment of care, love, and acts of mercy throughout your lifetime. Accomplishing all 14 Works of Mercy is an extraordinary and selfless gift to others, and is truly never-ending…
