THE ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL!
Ministry of Catechesis, and Evangelization
Each parish and Catholic school is unique and offers
religious education in ways that meet the needs of over
50,000 students in the local community. Some program
structures are very traditional; others are innovative. Even
as adults we seek to learn more about our faith and
deepen our relationship with God. Some adults want to
know more, some adults want to grow in their prayer life.
About 300 adults are brought to full initiation with the
Church in our diocese each year. Many opportunities for
the enrichment of faith are found in events and activities in
parishes throughout the diocese, such as Bible Study,
parish missions, lecture series, and online learning. These
ministries help with adult faith enrichment by providing
support for parish leaders and access to resources. Your
gift, in essence, builds up our Catholic faith.
