The Bishop's appeal supports the 70+ ministries that serve the faithful in our diocese as well as the greater communities where our parishes are located. This includes faith formation, CYO sports, formation of priests to serve parishioners, care of the retired priests, parishes in action programs, and meeting the unexpected needs of schools and parishes.

Let’s do whatever we can to make this year’s Appeal a big success.
