Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

How long will I have to meet my pledge?
We are asking parishioners to fulfill a pledge over a six-month period. Making a pledge allows you to contribute a larger gift to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal over a period of time.

Why should I support the Appeal?
Your support of the Bishop’s Annual Appeal helps to ensure that you, your loved ones, your neighbors and your co-workers have help when it is needed. Your gift is an outward sign of your faith in God and the work of His Church.

Collectively, the diocese supports many ministries that are larger than any one parish could support. When you contribute to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal, we are able to pool our resources together as a Diocesan Church and make a daily difference in the lives of thousands.
