This year’s theme reflects the them of the Jubilee Year, “Pilgrims of Hope.” It calls us to walk together bringing hope to others.
Through the Catholic Ministries Appeal, we support those in need throughout the six counties of the Diocese of Camden. Your gift to the Catholic Ministries Appeal Provides:
Social, Community and Health Care Services
Your generosity provides social services through Catholic Charities offices in the six counties of South Jersey. VITALity’s Hospital Chaplaincy is able to provide spiritual and emotional support to patients, their families and staff through your donations. Together, we offer support to the weak, vulnerable, and disenfranchised.
Evangelization and Faith Formation
Lay leadership training, intercultural ministries, ministry with the deaf and persons with disabilities, marriage enrichment, adult faith formation, liturgical catechesis and other evangelization efforts, including ManUp, which, along with your gifts, kindle the fire of faith into a bright beacon for all to see.
Youth, Young Adult and Campus Ministries
Your donation enables programs like Summer in the City, Catholic Scouting, Theology on Tap, college campus ministries and Newman Centers, and support for a growing number of parish-based Youth Ministry programs and many more activities to build community and prepare our youth and young adults for the mission that God has chosen for them.
Vocations, Seminarian & Permanent Diaconate Formation, Care of Priests
Your support ensures that pastors and clergy continue to bring the light of Jesus into the world. Through prayers and support, elderly priests who have dedicated their lives to service are receiving care.
Catholic Education – “Forming minds and hearts in grace”
Catholic schools are an integral part of the teaching mission of the Church.
Catholic schools build faith, develop leadership ability and provide academic excellence in a safe environment.
Your gift will help keep tuition affordable for families to send children to schools that will support Catholic values, develop character and provide academic excellence.
Incentives for Parish Initiatives
When our parish collects its goal amount, up to 10% is returned to our parish for our local charitable needs. Additionally, for this Jubilee Year, 100% of all funds received above our parish goal will also be returned to our parish to foster our charitable and ministerial work.
