BISHOP'S FUND IN-PEW WEEKEND During the Diocesan Synod process, building
vibrant parishes, evangelization and improving communication were priorities identified by
Catholics from throughout the state. This work already has begun in a diocesan-wide program
called the “Discipleship Maker Program," directed by the Catholic Leadership Institute, a
national organization that helps Dioceses and parishes institute policies and programs to
foster Christian discipleship within parishes.
The Bishop’s Annual Appeal supports this initiative along with many other vital ministries and
services that impact our 69 parishes, 118 churches and 14 schools.
Please consider making a gift during the In-Pew Phase this weekend.
Making a gift early reduces mailing and overall costs. You also may make a gift online on the
new easier-to-use giving platform: verontcatholic.org/giveonline
