Your Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) pledge is part of your personal commitment to Christian Stewardship, giving thanks to God by returning a portion of the blessings God has given to you.
 
The Bishop’s ACA supports education  for seminarians, builds our faith communities through ministry, education and training at the parish level, offers hope to the grieving, lonely  and elderly through Diocesan programs, supports education through Religious Education Ministries and our Catholic Schools and provides emergency               assistance to those in need.  
 
Prayerfully consider a pledge of 1% of your annual income to support the Diocesan Annual Catholic Appeal. We are grateful for your support!

Lord Our God, 
we pray for the grace to 
“Live Generously” in our world.
May we live with an awareness that 
all we are and all we have is a gift from God. 
Inspire each of us to share 
our blessings with our families 
and friends, our faith community, 
within our professions, and with the strangers 
we meet along the way.
Empowered by our trust in God, 
may we “Cultivate Hope” 
in our world through the sharing 
of our faith and our response to 
God’s call to share our gifts.
Amen
