Welcome to the Bishop's Appeal!
Many Generations, Stewards of One Faith
Today, our diocesan family represents 550,000 Catholics throughout the East Bay, from many different cultural backgrounds with rich faith heritages handed down to us from our ancestors. As we celebrate our 50th anniversary year, we are called to spread the Gospel and make Christ better known in our age. We are part of a larger Church that is both local and worldwide - the Diocese of Oakland. We are truly “Many Generations, Stewards of One Faith”
By joining together with our diocesan brothers and sisters we can provide services and ministries which serve thousands. This year, the total budget for diocesan-wide ministries and services is $6.93 million. As the economic environment continues to present challenges to many, and the spiritual needs of our people continue to grow, the challenge of cultivating and offering services is very real. Through the Bishop's Appeal, $2.1 is raised to supplement our ministry budget. Without the financial support of our diocesan family through the appeal, thousands throughout Alameda and Contra Costa counties, and beyond, could not be served.
