The Catholic Appeal provides support for our Catholic schools, operational support for our parishes, faith and formation programs at our parishes, and many services for those in our community who turn to our Church for assistance. Many of you may have received a letter from Cardinal Seán requesting your early support by making a gift to the 2022 Catholic Appeal. We hope that you will respond generously. You are helping put faith into action in countless and far-reaching ways and every gift makes a difference. Thank you.
