Welcome to the 2025 Annual Catholic Appeal:
Jubilee of Hope, Renewal of Faith, and Charity!

As we embrace this sacred Jubilee year, we are invited to renew our faith, strengthen our commitment to charity, and bring hope to those in need. This is a time of grace—a call to come together as one community, united in purpose and love for Christ and His Church.

Individually, we may feel limited in what we can do, but together, we can achieve extraordinary things! The Annual Catholic Appeal allows us to extend Christ’s love throughout Brooklyn and Queens, ensuring that those who are struggling find support, encouragement, and a renewed sense of hope.

This year, we ask you to be a witness of faith and a messenger of hope. By participating in the 2025 Annual Catholic Appeal, you are answering God’s call to be an instrument of His love. Your generosity enables essential ministries that serve the poor, support education, strengthen parish life, and bring the Gospel to those who need it most.

Consider becoming a sustaining donor by selecting the “Recurring” option when pledging online. This ongoing commitment allows your gift to have a lasting impact, ensuring that the Church’s vital ministries continue to flourish.

We are deeply grateful for your generosity and your willingness to walk this journey of faith with us. Join us in this Jubilee of Hope, Renewal of Faith, and Charity, and together, let us build a stronger, more vibrant Church for all.
