As we journey closer to the sacred season of gratitude and reflection, the Catholic Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to each of you who have contributed to the 2025 Progress Annual Ministry Appeal. Because of your prayers, faith, and sacrificial generosity, we have reached 89% of our $1.9 million goal, with $1,701,178 in pledges.

This remarkable milestone is more than a financial achievement—it is a reflection of faith in action. Each contribution, no matter the size, represents a heart responding to God’s call to serve, love, and share in the mission of the Church. Through your gifts, our ministries continue to bring the light of Christ to others across our diocese and beyond.

True stewardship is not simply about meeting a goal; it is a spiritual act of worship—an offering of gratitude to the One who gives us everything. When we give from the heart, we mirror the love of Christ, who gave Himself completely for our salvation.

The early Christians “shared everything they had” (Acts 4:32), united by the belief that all they possessed was a gift from God to be used for the good of others. Today, we carry on that same apostolic spirit through our support of ministries that serve families, youth, the elderly, the poor, and the most vulnerable among us.

Your generosity sustains seminarian formation, religious education, pastoral outreach, and countless programs that embody Christ’s compassion in our communities. Every act of giving becomes a prayer—a visible sign of our faith and trust in God’s providence.

As we approach the close of the year, we are reminded of the saints, apostles, and faithful witnesses who gave not out of abundance, but out of deep love and devotion. Their sacrifices built the foundation of the Church we cherish today.

In that same spirit, we invite you to join us in crossing the finish line of the 2025 Progress Annual Ministry Appeal. With your help, we can fully support the vital ministries that bring Christ’s love and hope to so many throughout our ten counties.

United as One Body in Christ, through prayer, sacrifice, and generosity, we continue to build His Kingdom, together—one act of love, one offering, one heart at a time.

Please prayerfully consider making a one-time gift to help us reach our goal. Every commitment, large or small, makes a lasting impact on our parishes, ministries, and overall community.
