Partners In Charity 2025Dear Parishioners,
Our parish has begun conducting our Partners in Charity appeal. As Bishop McManus said, "We are called in this life to serve other people, to be God’s hands, and, as Pope Francis reminds us, to participate as missionary disciples by our baptism."
If you have already made a pledge or gift to this year's appeal, please accept our heartfelt thanks for your support!As you may know, this appeal is a lifeline for more than two dozen agencies and ministries which provide charitable, pastoral and educational services that complement what we can provide at the parish. Together we help those in need to find hope, regardless of race, creed or circumstance.
In order to be prepared to prayerfully consider this annual request from Bishop McManus, click the button below for an online version of this year's Appeal Video and a digital 2025 Appeal Brochure.
Please consider making a pledge or gift to this year's Appeal. Click the donate button below and you can make your donation securely online and choose our parish so that it is counted towards our target.
You can even make your gift from a smartphone by texting DONATE to 84576!
Thank you.“It was a remarkable experience when I placed myself in God’s hands. My life completely changed. I am filled with enormous joy and can see God’s purpose for me in my ministry. We have to show others the way to encounter Jesus.”Nathan Torres, Hispanic and Latino Ministry -

Who We Serve
Partners in Charity encompasses three specific areas in our Diocese: Charity, Education and Ministry. Tens of thousands of people who are served and taught by ministries and agencies supported by Partners in Charity know that the power of Christ is behind the programs that help them.
Children in parish religious education classes and Catholic schools have their eyes, hearts and minds opened to Christ. Young men receive Christ's call to serve and those who have dedicated their lives in service of the priesthood are cared for in their retirement years. Through Catholic Charities and other agencies, families and individuals have their basic needs met in a safe, welcoming and confidential environment.
