The Annual Catholic Appeal funds the majority of the work for the Diocese of Tucson. Covering 51% of the projected Diocesan budget, the ACA provides the financial ability for over 26 ministries and charities to serve individuals and families within the communities of Southern Arizona.
As an appeal, the ACA is an opportunity for the faithful to be good stewards of the Church, live their faith, and give back to their communities. The ACA also allows for parishes to focus on their individual communities, providing critical funding to Diocesan ministries and operations that run more successfully at the diocesan level than at the parish level.
This year's 2024 Diocesan goal of $4M
helps fund:
Seminarian and Clergy Education and Support
Outreach to Poor Parishes, Missions, Community
Schools, Education & Evangelization
Diocesan Ministries/New Parish Development
Parish Support Service
The ACA helps our educational, charitable, and spiritual ministries bring the heart and hands of Jesus to children, young adults, families and neighbors throughout our Diocese.
Make your gift today and help us reach our Parish goal. Envelopes are in the pews as well as at the back of the church that you may use to make a one-time cash/check/credit card donation.
Prayerfully consider making a joyful sacrificial contribution to this year’s Appeal. Blessed are you who support the good work of the Annual Catholic Appeal, bringing hope and healing to people in need.
