Archbishop's Appeal

Overview

Gifts to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal support social service programs, such as homeless shelters and food programs; provide aid to Catholic schools and tuition assistance for students to attend Catholic schools; fund special ministries and apostolates; and support outreach programs including chaplains for campus ministries and hospitals.

Priority is given to those projects and programs not parish-specific and to efforts serving people in the Archdiocese with the greatest needs, both physical and spiritual.
