The Catholic Ministries Appeal is replaced the Fruitful Harvest Appeal.

The reason for the change is to focus on the many ministries that are supported through this appeal and to increase the transparency of how the funds raised from this appeal are utilized to support the works of Christ directly through the diocese, as well as through the ministries that support each of your local parishes.

A diocesan Stewardship Advisory Team, consisting of a dozen lay and clergy leaders from all across the diocese, has been instrumental in advising and assisting in the development of the Catholic Ministries Appeal, and implementation of initiatives that will help increase a stewardship-way-of-life across our diocese.

This appeal will run from September 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021.  After that, future Catholic Ministry Appeals will be annual appeals that follow the calendar year.

Your gift enables us to help others through the many diocesan ministries and programs such as recruitment and training of new priests, ministry to our students on college campuses, evangelization, catechetical training for our religious education teachers, marriage preparation and enrichment programs, to name just a few.

Donations may be made electronically through the diocesan website using Faith Direct, a secure provider for online giving. Go go: www.dol-in.org/cma. May God continue to bless our Diocese and the services and programs provided by the Catholic Ministries Appeal.

“For if you give, you will get. Your gifts will return to you in full and overflowing measure pressed down shaken together to make room for more and running over.  Whatever measure you use to give—large or small will be used to measure what is given back to you.”   Luke 6:38
