We are Happy to Announce the Theme for the 2017 Care and Share Annual Catholic Appeal:

“…you are numbered among the saints, and of the family of God” Ephes 2:19

We in the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings are all part of the family of God. Your 2017 Care and Share contributions will provide important support for the Vocations Ministry of our diocese, a ministry firmly rooted in the family. It is in the family that we first learn of God’s love and His call to make a gift of ourselves for others.

Your Care and Share gift will also provide much-needed support for various diocesan ministries, including faith formation for laity, marriage and family services, safe environment training, adoption services, social justice and advocacy and many more. Your gifts in support of these ministries, each meeting needs much larger than one parish alone can serve, help make Christ Jesus, our hope, present to all in an immediate and powerful way. We all have received countless blessings in our lives because of the generosity of God. Through this giving, we are called to be saints in assisting our brothers and sisters in need, which is perhaps our most important calling.

Each of us, as members of the family of God, should eagerly watch for our 2017 Care and Share Annual Catholic Appeal mailing from Bishop Warfel in our mailboxes the end of February/early March 2017. Please consider making a sacrificial pledge.

Should you have any questions about the 2017 Care and Share Appeal, please write to The Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana at PO Box 1345, Great Falls, MT 59403 or jackie@catholicfoundationmt.org. or call Jaclin Wike at (406) 727-6683, ext. 138. The Foundation welcomes your inquires and wishes you a blessed New Year.
