This weekend, we launch the annual Catholic Appeal, along with all the other parishes throughout the Archdiocese. Each year, the Catholic Appeal provides the faithful with a way to help support the ministries that support our parishes, our schools, and our communities.
This is our Church, and every gift makes a difference. Please make your gift today by visiting bostoncatholicappeal.org. Your gift has an immediate impact on our parishes and the work of our Church.
