Each year, the faithful from across our diocese are given a unique opportunity to unite as a diocese and make an impact far greater than any one person or parish could achieve on their own. Through gifts to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal – Call to Share you can help bring His hope to life and join us as disciples of Jesus on mission.
The 2025 Bishop’s Annual Appeal – Call to Share kicks off on February 9th and 10th. This year’s appeal carries the
same powerful theme “Hope Does Not Disappoint” as the Year of Jubilee – a beautiful partnership in purpose and timing.
The Bishop’s Annual Appeal is an opportunity for us to put that hope into action by supporting the many ministries and programs that serve our diocese.
· Youth: Programs like Totus Tuus, Prayer and Action, Jr. CYO Camp, CYO Convention, and parish religious education inspire thousands of young people each year to grow in their faith.
· Faith community: Diocesan events like the Eucharistic Conference bring people together to deepen their connection with Christ and one another.
· Sacraments: Your generosity supports the sacred moments that mark our faith journeys, from baptism to matrimony and
beyond.
· Clergy: You help form and educate our 14 seminarians, provide ongoing support for our active clergy, and care for the priests who have dedicated their lives to serving us.
These are just a few examples of the ministries and programs made possible through the appeal. I invite you to take a few
moments to read through the Bishop’s Annual Appeal issue of faith magazine, arriving in your mailbox soon, to learn more about the impactful work your support helps to accomplish.
There is no better time to be a pilgrim of hope here in our diocese than now. Through your generosity, we can continue to transform lives and share the hope of Christ throughout our diocese. How to make a gift to support the 2025 Bishop’s Annual Appeal:
