Diocesan Annual Appeal Begins this Month

What is the Annual Diocesan Appeal?
The Annual Diocesan Appeal is a dynamic opportunity for all of the faithful in the Diocese of Fort Worth to contribute for the common good and impact lives beyond the scope of any individual parish.

Its mission is to witness to God’s grace in our lives by together sharing the Gospel message of faith, hope and charity with those most in need of attention through knowing and doing all that we are called to as disciples of Christ.

Appeal materials will be mailed to every Catholic household in the Diocese of Fort Worth.  Pledge materials will also be available here at St. Philip the Apostle.  Completed pledge forms may be mailed directly to the Diocese or dropped off in our parish collection.

Thank you for prayerfully considering your gift to the appeal.
