“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and you will receive strength from him; you are to be my witnesses in Jerusalem and throughout Judaea, in Samaria, yes, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8

Join us in an extraordinary effort to renew and strengthen every parish and mission in the Diocese of Rockford through the You Will Be My Witnesses Campaign.

By focusing on parish-led renewal projects, we aim to fortify our diocesan community, empowering us to evangelize more effectively, proclaim the Gospel with greater fervor, and draw more people into a relationship with Christ.

Explore the details of this campaign as we come together to build up the Church in unity with one another and with the Lord Jesus Christ.

HEALTHY, VIBRANT PARISHES

The primary goal of the You Will Be My Witnesses campaign is to revitalize our parishes, promote participation in parish life, and evangelize and serve both the faithful and the surrounding community.

PARISHES

SUPPORT FOR PARISHES IN NEED

Many of our parishes and missions have limited financial resources, which can hold them back from accomplishing necessary projects. These parishes in need will receive additional matching funds, helping them undertake further projects of importance to enhance the life of the parish.

STRENGTHENING PARISHES

EVANGELIZATION

Through the You Will Be My Witnesses campaign, we aim to strengthen our existing diocesan ministries, inspire the faithful, and guide us all in our call to be witnesses to the person of Jesus and the love of God

INVESTMENT IN MINISTRY

"Proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient." (2 Timothy 4:2)

 
 

“Every Christian is challenged, here and now, to be actively engaged in evangelization; indeed, anyone who has truly experienced God’s saving love does not need much time or lengthy training to go out and proclaim that love.”

Pope Francis, Joy of the Gospel, #120
