Thank You!

We want to thank everyone for their participation and gifts to our 2023 Annual Catholic Appeal. The active appeal ran from February 5 – May 28, 2023. Gifts will continue to be accepted through December 31, 2023. We have currently raised $1,535,000 which is 90% of our overall goal. These gifts have come from just over 3,500 individuals and families, which gives us a participation rate of 26% of the Diocese thus far. Every gift matters, every prayer matters, and we could not do this without you!

Your contributions and commitments to the Annual Catholic Appeal are supporting the ministries of the Diocese which include Faith Formation, Safe Environment, Priest Support, Seminarian Support, Properties and Facilities Support, The Harvest magazine, St. Thomas Camp, Marriage Tribunal, Catholic Cemetaries, FORMED Subscriptions, amongst others. Thank you for helping continue our work throughout Eastern Montana.
