Bishop's Ministry Appeal

"Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the LORD your God has blessed you."                                                                                                                 - Deuteronomy 16:17

This year marks the 50th Anniversary of our Diocese. We were created in 1962 to serve the expanding Catholic population in the Northern San Joaquin Valley. In honor of our anniversary year, we hope all parishioners will consider a gift to the 2012 Bishop’s Ministry Appeal. This can be a one-time gift or paid in 8 monthly installments. The goal of the 2012 Bishop’s Ministry Appeal is $2,100,000. In order to meet this goal, our pastors have asked for everyone’s participation. Gifts of any size are greatly appreciated.

Much has changed since our diocese was first established, but the devotion to our Catholic faith remains as strong as ever. Thank you for prayerfully considering a generous gift to support the good works and ministries of the Church in the Diocese. 100% of contributions for the 2012 Bishop’s Ministry Appeal go to the Appeal and not to any other diocesan expenses, including lawsuits.
