Annual Pastoral Appeal at 6363 9th Avenue, North, St. Petersburg, FL 33710 US - Home

Lord Jesus, we thank you for calling us together as Church
in You we are one!

The Annual Pastoral Appeal is a centralized campaign designed to give each of our 79 parishes and missions every opportunity to reach its maximum potential. It is meant to be a resource to educate our faithful on their parish's share of our larger Diocesan Church.

Through an assessment, every parish and mission is required to support our diocesan operations, services and ministries that in turn meet the physical, educational and spiritual needs of thousands throughout our five county faith community that one parish could not meet alone. This allows each one of us, as one, united in faith, to fulfill God's call to spread the good news and to love and serve one another.
 

Our Lord Jesus Christ calls each one of us to be generous in thought, word and deed. He teaches us that in the measure we give, we also receive. Every Catholic is invited and encouraged to make a commitment to Christ's ministry through the mission of our Church here in the Diocese of St. Petersburg.

Your gift to the Annual Pastoral Appeal is needed,
