This weekend, all of our parishes will be going through the in-pew process for this year's Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA). Check out the ACA video below to learn more about this year's appeal and several of the great outreach programs available in our diocese.  Please prayerfully consider how you can generously respond this year.

Each pledge to the Annual Catholic Appeal supports the many programs, resources and services that the Diocese sponsors, enabling us to share the transformative power of Christ’s love with those who are lost, forgotten, or in need. During this Year of Jubilee, we are called to reflect on God’s abundant grace, celebrate the gift of forgiveness, and shine Christ's light in the world through acts of charity and service.

Please prayerfully consider joining the Perpetual Steward Society by making a continuous monthly gift of any amount. Or consider making a pledge, payable over six months. Your gift will help enable our parish and the diocese to reach its goal and provide to the ministries supported by the appeal.

The theme for the 2025 Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) is “Hope Does Not Disappoint.” Taken from Romans 5:5, this verse reminds us that hope does not disappoint us because God’s love has been poured into each of our hearts through the Holy Spirit. This beautiful passage connects deeply to the Diocese of Madison and the services delivered through the ACA. Among the many programs that receive support are the Mental Wellness Ministry, which provides Catholic resources for mental health; Sacramental Preparation Ministries, which guide individuals and families through the important steps of receiving the sacraments; and the Called and Gifted™ workshops, which help parishioners discern their spiritual gifts and how to use them in service to the community. 

It is only through our combined efforts—through the hands, hearts, and resources of every member of this Diocese—that we can continue to care for the needs of the poor and vulnerable, educate the next generation of the Faithful, provide spiritual growth, and spread the Gospel message to all who are seeking the light of Christ. Please visit https://madisondiocese.org/aca to learn more or make a gift.  Thank you for your prayerful consideration and support. 

Let us come together in faith, in love, and in the surety that “Hope Does Not Disappoint.”
