2022 Bishop’s Appeal – Hearts Filled With Hope

2022 Bishop’s Appeal – Hearts Filled With Hope

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.  Care ministers are trained to go out and share the Gospel with the homebound and sick.  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.  Families seeking to adopt are connected with newborn babies.  Your gift to the Bishop’s Appeal makes happy endings possible.

91-93% of every dollar raised goes to Diocesan ministries and services right here in northeast Wisconsin.

Updates from the Diocese of Green Bay

This week (as of May 25, 2021), the Diocese of Green Bay came out with updated guidance on the celebration of the Mass in response to the continuing improvement in both the vaccination numbers and the number of new Covid cases.

Starting the weekend of June 5th and June 6th, we will be removing the requirement to wear masks and be socially distanced during Mass.

Anyone who for whatever reason wishes to continue to wear a mask may do so at their discretion. Also, we will have an area of the church where masks and social distancing will still be required for those who are more comfortable with the existing guidelines. This area will be in the left front half of the old section of the church.

Additional changes you will see include holy water in the fonts, collection baskets being passed and the sign of peace will be reinstated.

Thank you for your patience over these past 14-months and we ask that you continue to be respectful of everyone’s manner of worship.
