Welcome to the 2024 Annual Catholic Appeal: a journey of faith, unity, and purpose. This year, we are Called to Communion, Participation, and Mission – a powerful theme that encapsulates the essence of our shared commitment to make a meaningful impact.
Individually, none of us can fully address the needs of our diocese. However, when we come together, we have the power to accomplish remarkable things! The Annual Catholic Appeal offers us the chance to continue spreading Christ's love throughout Brooklyn and Queens, providing hope in the process.

Assume a leadership position by actively participating in the 2024 Annual Catholic Appeal, setting a model of Christian stewardship for others to follow. Acknowledge the abundance in our lives and demonstrate gratitude through dedicated support for the mission and initiatives of the diocese, as they work tirelessly to bring the Gospel to those in greatest need.

Catholic Charities
“Having migrated to a new country, I found myself facing numerous challenges. Catholic Charities became my pillar of support, offering not only essential services but also a sense of community and understanding. Now, I’m inspired to give back. Volunteering my time with Catholic Charities is my way of paying forward the kindness I have received. Thank you to all the generous donors of the Annual Catholic Appeal who have impacted my life.”
