Impacting the Lives of Children

The future of our Church needs young people to be alive in their faith today. Through the many education programs of our Diocese, we are able to teach children to know and love Jesus.

Your gift to the Bishop’s Appeal allows students involved in Catholic schools, religious education and youth ministry to draw closer to Christ and to each other on a regular basis. Young people founded in Catholic education are the future of our Church and good citizens in our communities.

Your gift to the Bishop’s Appeal makes a difference in the Catholic education of children across our 16-county dio- cese. To make a gift today contact your parish, visit the Bishop’s Appeal website at www.catholicfoundationgb.org/ give, or call Tammy toll-free at 877-500-3580, ext. 8123.
