Join us in celebrating National Marriage Week that will be held from February 7th through February 14th! 

National Marriage Week is a special time to reflect on the beautiful gift of the sacrament of matrimony. This year’s theme from the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Office for Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth) is: “Marriage: Source of Hope, Spring of Renewal, Pursue a Lasting Love!”

We invite couples to strengthen their bond and deepen their lifelong commitment to each other. Please see below for ways to improve your marriage – that can be done at home with your spouse.

2025 Bishop’s Appeal – Bringing Hope to the World

2025 Bishop’s Appeal – Bringing Hope to the World

What is the Bishop’s Appeal?

The Bishop’s Appeal is a stewardship opportunity for each of us to reach out to thousands of people in search of Jesus’ love. Each gift given supports the ministries of the Diocese of Green Bay which serve our parishes, Catholic schools, and communities. Your gift truly helps bring the heart and hands of Christ to our children, young adults, families and neighbors here in northeastern Wisconsin.

Why Give to the Bishop’s Appeal?

And the king will say to them in reply, “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” -Matthew 25:40

Your gift to the Bishop’s Appeal will help in countless ways.  Children and families are able to attend lively, interactive education programs learning the Word of God.  A young woman in an abusive relationship is able, through counseling with Catholic Charities, to stand on her own feet.  Married couples struggling with infertility are able to become parents through Adoption Services.  Your gift to the Bishop’s Appeal makes happy endings possible.

93% of every dollar raised goes to Diocesan ministries and services here in northeast Wisconsin.
