Urgent Request from Archbishop Hebda:
Recently Archbishop Hedba asked for our help with this year’s Catholic Services Appeal.  The Appeal, which funds many vital diocesan programs, is off to a slow start and running about $800,000 behind last year. 
In addition to providing critical funding for our schools, Catholic Charities, and our seminaries, the Appeal funds our hospital ministry which provides chaplains who are available day and night to minister to the sick and dying in local hospitals.
