2025 Catholic Appeal Moving Forward in Faith ....Together
One of the most meaningful ways that we deepen the impact of our Archdiocese’s parishes and ministries is by supporting the Catholic Appeal. Your partnership and participation carry Christ’s love into our communities and spread hope.
Many of you may have received a letter from Archbishop Richard Henning requesting your support of the 2025 Catholic Appeal. We hope that you will respond to his invitation with a generous gift or pledge, knowing that each contribution makes a difference.
On behalf of Archbishop Henning and all who benefit from your generosity, Thank you.
The Catholic Appeal is the annual campaign to support the central ministries of the Archdiocese who offer important expertise and resources to parishes and schools. Your support of the Catholic Appeal is the most effective way our parish community can join together in the Church's universal work to care for our neighbors.
