The 2025 Bishop’s Annual Appeal
Pilgrims of Hope: Journeying Together in Faith, Hope and Charity
In announcing the Jubilee Year, Pope Francis instructed that it be celebrated, “with deep faith, lively hope and active charity.” It is a reminder that we are called to discover hope in current times and to be the instruments of hope for others. One tangible way to accomplish this is by giving to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal. Through our shared support of our pastoral, educational and charitable ministries, we are assisting those most in need and spreading the message of hope in the Lord!
