Archdiocesan Campaign - Annual Catholic Appeal 2023

“Give, and it will be given to you.” — Luke 6:38

Your donation to the Annual Catholic Appeal ensures the availability of outreach ministries, education, faith formation and support services for your parish and people in your community – and much more.

“All our work reaching out to those on the margins is because of you!

Your support enables our Pastoral Outreach team to hold the hands of the dying in hospitals, to accompany our incarcerated brothers and sisters, support the seafarers entering our ports after months away at sea and be a welcoming neighbor for immigrants and those seeking asylum.

Our Pastoral Outreach team also provides guidance to support your parish ministries – most recently for our mental health, deaf and inclusion ministries. Thank you for your generous support of the Annual Catholic Appeal!”

Joe Cotton, Director of Pastoral Care and Outreach Ministry

This year, our parish's goal is $53,707. We believe we can achieve this with your generosity. All gifts received over our goals will be returned to the parish for our parish project which is “fence project"

Please prayerfully consider how you can participate in helping our parish be a light to others.
