Gifts of our time, talent and treasure to our church and our archdiocese are an important part of our commitment to stewardship of God's gifts. Those who have also contributed to the Archbishop's Annual Appeal are providing critical resources necessary to continue the ministries and services of the Archdiocese. The Catholic Center is still $11,630 short of our goal of $52,600. If you would like to contribute to the Arch- bishop’s Annual Appeal, please pick up an Appeal envelope in the back of the Chapel or in the Catholic Center office.
