Through your generosity to the Annual Appeal, we work together to provide ministry resources and services to all the parishes of the Diocese that no single parish could otherwise provide for itself. Please prayerfully consider donating/pledging to this appeal.
As Catholics, we are called to put the needs of the poor and vulnerable first. As St. Teresa of Calcutta says, "Do small things with great love." Every gift to Catholic Charities, when combined with those of many, will go great things. Together, we are Love Changing Lives!
