2023 DIOCESAN LENTEN APPEAL

"ONE BODY IN CHRIST"

In a coordinated effort to share the wonderful works of our Diocese the Diocesan Lenten Appeal page has been updated to reflect our 2023 theme, One Body in Christ. This year, we are focusing on the wonderful ministries taking place within our four counties, such as our international priests, faith formation, youth volunteers and Catholic Charities. Every Thursday during this Lenten season, you will be able to view an updated video highlighting these ministries on the Diocesan Facebook page, website and YouTube channel.  

Below is the link to our DLA giving page and a kick-off video message from Bishop Kulick.
