“So we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.”
— Romans 12:5
As one united diocesan family, we embrace our shared mission to carry faith into the future through the Bishop’s Ministries Appeal. Together, we can achieve what no parish can do alone, building a stronger Church in the East Bay and empowering our communities for mission.
Through your grace and collective support, we act as one to:
Sustain Our Family: Provide meals and shelter to those in need, ensuring comfort and stability for the most vulnerable members of our community.
Build Our Future: Support seminarian formation and vocations, nurturing the next generation of priests to lead us in faith and service.
Heal Our Members: Offer counseling and spiritual resources to those facing personal trials, fostering healing and renewed purpose.
Empower Our Mission: Enrich the faith formation of our youth, inspiring them to grow in Christ and lead our Church into the future.
Every gift multiplies across our parishes, schools, and outreach programs. Together, as one diocesan family, we are shaping the future of the Church in the East Bay. Your generosity ensures that our mission remains vibrant and that our faith continues to reach every heart.
