Catholic Services Appeal

Your 2024 Catholic Services Appeal gift will transform countless lives by bringing Jesus to others through the education and outreach of ministries throughout the Archdiocese.

Catholic Services Appeal is focused on four major ministry areas that touch on important areas of our Catholic life:

Educate in Faith

An essential component of the Church’s ministry is the education of the next generation of disciples, as well as the continuing formation of all its members.

Help Those in Need

The Church is called to make the love of Jesus real and tangible in the world today, especially to the poor, the vulnerable and those on the peripheries.

Strengthen in Faith

At the heart of the Church’s ministry is facilitating for its members an encounter with the person of Jesus Christ. Central to what it means to be Catholic is the development of a friendship with Jesus through prayer and reflection.

Protect Life

Knowing that every human person has God-given dignity and together we can promote respect for life in all stages.

Coming to know Jesus.

If you are looking to grow closer to Jesus this Lent, this series is for you. If faith isn’t a big part of your life but you are interested to hear more and share your thoughts in an open environment, this series is for you. Wherever you are at, we invite you to join us.

Alpha kicks off on Sunday, February 18 and runs until the final Sunday of Lent, March 24. We will be together from 6:00 - 7:40 PM at Our Lady of Grace. As mentioned previously, dinner is provided, so no need to stress about your Sunday dinner plans – we’ve got you covered.
