Meet Austin & Cheyenne – Catholic Foundation – Green Bay, WI

Meet Austin & Cheyenne – Catholic Foundation – Green Bay, WI

This year for the Bishop’s Appeal, there are some additional stories about people impacted by diocesan ministries supported by the Appeal.  One of the stories is on Austin and Cheyenne, a couple from St. John Nepomucene who was supported during their marriage preparation. 

Prior to marriage preparation, Cheyenne and Austin did not attend Mass frequently.  They both were raised Catholic and cared about their faith, but it wasn’t the top priority amidst all the wedding planning.  From working on a guest list, to making flower arrangements, going through marriage preparation was another item on their “Wedding To-Do List.”

However, their marriage preparation at St. John Nepomucene Catholic Community in Little Chute changed how they view the importance and sanctity of the Mass and marriage itself.

Because of your gift to the Bishop’s Appeal, the diocesan Office of Marriage and Family Life provides resources and support for parishes as they walk with engaged couples on their marriage-preparation journey.  These resources have inspired hundreds of couples in our Diocese, including Austin and Cheyenne, to place their faith at the center of their relationship.

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.
