It is time for the annual Archbishop Appeal. This is an important fund raising program for our diocese. The donations made enable the diocese to carry out its mission in ways that would not be otherwise possible.
Please watch the videos on this page to hear Archbishop Sample's comments on the appeal.
All monies collected are used only for Diocese programs. Here is a breakdown of how the money will be used: 26% will be used to fund programs in the parishes; 25% to educate and train our seminarians, our future priests; 20% helps support our retired priests; 15% supports diocesan programs and ministires; 9% supports Catholic Education in our diocese; and 5% funds the vocations programs in our diocese.
All told, the diocese has set a goal of $4.5-million dollars for the campaign this year, which is the same goal as last year. St. Monica has a goal of $20,000 this year. Please help us to meet this goal.
Donation envelopes are in the church. These will be collected during the Second Collection, or you can mail them directly to the diocese, postage free. You can also donate online, but if you do, please select St. Monica as your parish.
