Through the power of Christ’s love we are called to respond to the needs of others.

In gratitude and unity, we generously share these gifts through the Annual Diocesan Appeal, which begins next weekend in parishes throughout the Diocese.

Hope and Healing for the Poor – to aid the disadvantaged, the disabled and those who are most in need of God’s healing grace through Catholic Charities and Correctional Ministry.
Love and Strengthening for Families – through Marriage and Family Life ministries that bind us closer to Christ through our love and respect for one another in families committed to proclaiming the Gospel.
Faith and Formation for Future Generations – Tuition Assistance and Campus Ministry Programs to empower our children, youth and young adults to grow in their Catholic faith in preparation for a life of Christian leadership and service.
