The Bishop’s Annual Appeal 2018

We are Called…
so faith, hope and charity may flourish.

This is the theme Bishop Bradley chose for this year’s Bishop’s Annual Appeal for it is through this diocesan-wide appeal that we have the opportunity to share, with love to one another, our own faith, hope and charity. Each year, we renew our personal commitment to more fully participate as good stewards to build the Kingdom of God in the Diocese of Kalamazoo. 
 
Through the Bishop’s Annual Appeal, we share Christ’s mission by serving countless people in ways we may not realize. All of us, personally and through our parishes, enjoy the fruits of the work of the diocesan ministry departments. When we use God’s blessing to make our annual gift or pledge, we join with all of our sisters and brothers in Christ throughout the diocese to do the Lord’s work — work that no one individual or parish can do alone.

Please take a moment to review the different appeal materials including the video message available below.

Thank you in advance for your consideration of a financial gift to this year’s Bishop’s Annual Appeal so that we may joyfully live our faith!
