Annual Catholic Appeal

A recent report of the Annual Catholic Appeal campaign activity revealed we have received pledges of $4,569,050.22 toward the diocesan goal of $4,871,000. To date, we have raised 93.3% of the goal. Can you help us meet or exceed the goal?

As you know, support of the Appeal means bringing hope to the people of our diocese. Hope comes alive in our parishes and schools, religious education programs, ministry formation, and initiatives to foster justice, peace, and respect. Your support makes all this happen. We ask that if you have not already, please prayerfully consider a gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal.
