Annual Diocesan Appeal
Thank you to everyone who has already responded to the Annual Diocesan Appeal. Every gift helps strengthen the mission of our Diocese.
Last year, 591 people entered the Catholic Church, including 146 through our Newman Centers. Countless others were served through Catholic Charities, Catholic schools, vocation programs, and parish ministries.
If you have not yet made your pledge, there is still time.
