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.

Pope Francis on Advent

Advent,” he said, “is a moment of grace to take off our masks – every one of us has them – and line up with those who are humble, to be freed from our presumption of being self-sufficient, to go to confess our sins (the hidden ones) to welcome God’s pardon, and to ask forgiveness from those whom we have offended. This is how to begin a new life.

The ACTS Prayer Method

The acronym ACTS stands for adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication.  This model of prayer prioritizes our time with God so we first approach Him with reverence (adoration), then repent of the sin in our life (confession), then express our gratitude to Him for all He has done (thanksgiving), and finally submit to Him our requests (supplication). 

A great habit to incorporate into your daily prayer life.

A great tip for building your faith is to find a good Catholic Community to join or at least a few good Catholic friends to encourage you on. We need community. It is the reason Jesus gathered His 12 Apostles together. When He sent them out, He sent them in pairs. It is not good for us to be alone, even more so as we strive to be disciples in a world that lives so contrary to the Gospel.

Find friendship here at St. John Nepomucene by seeking good Catholic friends or looking into one of our amazing ministries. There is always a place for you here!

We need to be constantly reminded that “the Church is not a man-made society of like-minded people who are trying to live Christian lives and to exert some kind of Christian influence upon the world. The Catholic Church is a community created and called by God.

Its task is evangelization and salvation: to be an instrument of God’s work in the world focused in the saving and liberating mission of Jesus Christ. It must, therefore, look to the Holy Spirit for the power to accomplish it.

The Catholic Church is the oldest and largest branch of Christianity, with roots in Rome and a history that goes back almost 2,000 years. It was the only Christian church for the first 1,000 years of Christianity, and all other Christian churches today can trace their lineage back to it. 

The Catholic Church is led by the pope, who is also the Bishop of Rome, and rules from Vatican City, a separate country within Rome, Italy.
