Annual Pastoral Appeal

The Annual Pastoral Appeal gives each Catholic the opportunity to impact the lives of others who are served by the many ministries of the Catholic Church in the Diocese of St. Petersburg. 

Through the Annual Pastoral Appeal (APA) parishioners are encouraged to fulfill their Stewardship call by personally committing their time, talent and treasure to their sisters and brothers in Christ.

  The Office of Stewardship and Development prepares and distributes all APA materials, produces the APA video, offers training, arranges for guest speakers, and provides ongoing support to the parish leadership for all aspects of the Appeal.  Parishes are asked to promote the Annual Pastoral Appeal, present APA information to parishioners, and support efforts to attract gifts.  The Campaign Accounting Office records all pledges and payments and reports on a regular basis the progress of the Appeal to all donors, parishes and the Diocese.

With God's good grace and much gratitude,
