Vocations and the Bishop’s Appeal

Our parishes are blessed with Diocesan priests who pastor us through our faith journey. They teach and preach the Gospel of Jesus and provide for and support the spiritual formation of the people through the teachings of the Church. The largest percentage of the money collected from the Bishop’s Annual Appeal goes to clergy/seminary education and formation.  The appeal pays for the seminarian education of our future diocesan priests, who will guide and shepherd us through our sacraments in the years to come.

Bishop's Annual Appeal
