Bishop’s Appeal and Religious Education:
Catechists in the IPRF program recently benefited from last year’s Bishop’s Appeal. Rosie Bartel from the diocesan office came to St. Mary Community room to lead a catechist in-service on the U.S. Catholic Catechism for Adults. Since there was no cost for her speaking fee (her salary is supported by the Bishop’s Appeal), we were able to provide a copy of the book for each of our catechists. 21% of contributions to the Bishop’s Appeal support the Education ministry in the diocese.

St. Mary and St. Joseph also benefit from the 16% of Bishop’s Appeal contributions that support ministry formation. Several catechists have attended the Commissioned Ministry Leadership formation program including deacons and deacon candidates. The Ministry Formation office is also presenting Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI who will speak to volunteers on Sat., March 6. Our catechists have the opportunity to hear an internationally known speaker for only $10, thanks to the Bishop’s Appeal. When many diocese are cutting back on services to parishes, our diocese is able to continue to support quality ministry through the Bishop’s Appeal.
