What Gives You Hope?
Perhaps it is seeing your child receive a faith-filled education in Catholic school. Maybe it is seeing your grandchild grow closer to Jesus through their parish faith formation program over the years. It may even be through lending a helping hand to those who are suffering and are in need of Christ’s love. Or, it may be seeing a young couple say “I do” at their wedding Mass, vowing to be there for better or for worse. We see these exact examples of hope everywhere in the Diocese of Green Bay.
Bringing Hope to the World is the greatest way we can bring Jesus to our brothers and sisters. Through your support of the Bishop’s Appeal, diocesan ministries are helping thousands of people in northeastern Wisconsin discover Jesus and the hope He brings. The Bishop’s Appeal begins February 1-2, 2025. However, we need your help to make this happen.
Because of your support of the Bishop’s Appeal, Catholic Charities works with those struggling with mental health issues, offers financial counseling, and helps couples looking to grow their family by adoption. Many times, Catholic Charities also works with couples facing a difficult time in their marriage.
As difficulties grow and worsen, it can become challenging for a husband and wife to find a solution on their own. Counseling services help couples put Jesus at the center of their relationship and help them work through their struggles. When you make a gift to the Bishop’s Appeal, you support Catholic Charities’ efforts to provide healing opportunities for more people across northeastern Wisconsin.
When you make a Bishop’s Appeal gift, you also help children discover Jesus’ love through faith formation programs and Catholic schools. For some, faith formation and Catholic schools are the only way children encounter Jesus and are supported in their faith journey. They grow their relationship with Jesus while being surrounded by faith-filled individuals, which gives these young people the foundation they need to become strong Catholics.
Your gift furthers faith formation and Catholic education ministries that serve people and bring Christ into thousands of lives, including the lives of members at your parish. To see these ministries in action and more ways our Diocese is sharing the gifts, watch the 2025 Bishop’s Appeal video here.
There are two easy ways to make your gift to the Bishop’s Appeal:
- Make your pledge online at www.catholicfoundationgb.org/give
- Send back the blue envelope with the gift card that was included with the letter from Bishop Ricken with a check or credit card pledge.
Thank you for your support of the Bishop’s Appeal. Together, we are Bringing Hope to the World!
