A diocese cannot truly flourish without thriving parishes. Parishes are the lifeblood of our Catholic community, where faith comes alive, and hearts are set on fire for Christ. As the U.S. Bishops remind us, “Parishes are the place where God’s people meet Jesus in word and sacrament…” (Communities of Salt and Light, p. 1). With $24 million dedicated to this vital mission, the renewal and transformation of our parishes is at the core of our campaign. 

At least 40% of the funds collected on pledges at the parish will be directed to the projects that matter most to each parish. Once a parish reaches its baseline target, 60% of anything raised beyond that goal will stay within the parish. And if a parish doubles its baseline target, 100% of the additional funds raised will be theirs to steward.
