THE 2021 ANNUAL APPEAL
-
My dear Brothers and Sisters:
This Sunday, January 17th, as an Archdiocese we launch our Annual Appeal. Sunday’s Gospel for the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time is a fitting introduction to this Archdiocesan wide effort.- As a model of authentic stewardship, Jesus is not merely a man of words. Jesus invites His disciples into His very life. He gives Himself totally to them – His time, His home, His goods, and ultimately, His very life.
- Discipleship is not something I undertake alone, it is a journey through which God, with our cooperation, makes of each of us a “gift” for others.
Your gift to the 2021 Annual Appeal supports essential programs and ministries including:
Proclaiming the Gospel:
Ministry to Multi-Ethnic Communities
Office of Evangelization
Office of Family Life
International Missions
Ministry with the Deaf
-
Caring for the Poor and Vulnerable:
Catholic Charities
Hospital and Prison Chaplaincy
Ministry With Persons With Disabilities
Respect Life Office
Protecting God’s Children
Passing on the Faith:
Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry Catechetical Office
Campus Ministry and affiliated Colleges & Universities
Catholic Schools
Forming Future Priests and Supporting Retired Clergy:
