By Elizabeth Bollinger, Executive Director of the Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of Tucson
The faith and generosity of the people of the Diocese of Tucson continue to shine brightly through the incredible support for this year’s Annual Catholic Appeal. This outpouring of support is truly a blessing. However, $342,000 is still needed to fully fund the ministries and programs that so many in our Diocese rely upon.
Four Weeks to Make a Difference
With just under four weeks remaining until the 2024 Annual Catholic Appeal concludes, there is still time to make a meaningful impact. While the Appeal has already achieved significant progress, approximately $342,000 is still needed to fully fund the ministries and programs that serve the people of our Diocese. These crucial funds enable essential services that profoundly impact lives throughout our Diocese, including:
Continuing the ministries that support our pastors and parish communities
Education, certification, and formation of lay parish leaders
Care and education for seminarians, clergy, and retired priests
Administrative services critical to our parishes and Catholic schools
Advocacy for life and community outreach
Assistance for Catholic affiliates and emergency parish needs
This year, the extraordinary generosity of those able to give more has helped bridge the gap for those unable to give as they had in the past. Together, we are ensuring that every parishioner has the opportunity to live the mission of faith and service.
Help Us Cross the Finish Line
Your support ensures that our Diocese is able to thrive as a strong and vibrant faith community. With your help, we can bridge the $342,000 gap and continue to fulfill our mission to serve in Christ.
If you haven’t yet contributed to the 2024 Annual Catholic Appeal or wish to make an additional gift, there’s still time to live the mission with a generous heart. Every gift makes a difference, no matter the size. Together, we can ensure these vital ministries and services continue to transform lives in our parishes and beyond.
