Pacciorini Staff writer The Bishop’s Appeal, the annual fun- draising effort to assist Catholic services in the Diocese of Oakland, will stretch its goal to raise $3 million in 2018. The appeal has set a goal of about $2.5 million in each of the last several years. In 2017, generous donors contrib- uted $2.8 million. The Bishop’s Appeal supports very specific ministries of the diocese — needy schools, priest retirement and care, semi- narians, religious education and pastoral services. Together, these services will cost the diocese $7.8 million this year. The appeal CNS helps offset the cost of these ministries. The theme for this year’s appeal is Lighting the Way. Last year, more than 10,000 donors, about 10 percent of regis- tered diocesan households, made a con- tribution. Forty-seven of the 84 parishes met or exceeded their goal. Nationally, dioceses similar in size to : ANDREW KELLY/REUTERS, ANDREW KELLY/REUTERS, : Oakland raise $5 million in their annual BY appeals, with about 21 percent participa- tion, about double what Oakland raises.

Blakely Interviews Conducted by Gabrielle Morris in 1985, 1990 Copyright (c) 1992 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Lionel Wilson dated August 29, 1990.

However, research has also identified that barriers in the urban environment often prevent parents from being more fully engaged, including barriers related to transportation, housing, and neighborhood safety.
