Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal
If you have already pledged your support to the Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal (CMAA), we sincerely thank you! Let’s join together to meet our parish’s goal of $170,000. Each and every gift, regardless of size, truly makes a difference.
If you still plan on making your gift, please prayerfully reflect on how best you can Open your heart to God’s goodness in support of those in need throughout our diocese. Pledge envelopes are still available in the church, or you can use the envelope you received in the mail from the diocese. We also welcome online gifts at jolietdioceseappeal.org
Remember, if we raise more than our goal, the diocese will return 70% of the amount over our goal to us to reinvest in our own parish. This is an incredible opportunity and blessing!

Pledge your gift to the CMAA
This is commitment weekend for the 2025 Catholic Ministries Catholic Appeal (CMAA). The appeal is a beautiful way we can put our faith into action by supporting the mission and important ministries of the Diocese of Joliet.
This year’s CMAA theme is Open your heart to God’s goodness. When we care for our brothers and sisters in need, we are answering this call. Through our annual appeal, our parish joins with other parishes in the diocese to enrich the lives of those most vulnerable among us, grow our children in deep faith, and strengthen vocations. We could not foster these and the many other ministries the CMAA supports on our own. This is a diocese-wide effort.
Seventy percent of any amount we raise over our goal will be returned to us, a wonderful re-gifting of sorts, that affords us the opportunity to invest in the needs of our own parish.
Please prayerfully reflect on how you can best support our annual appeal and help our parish reach its $170,000 goal. To make a gift, complete and return one of the pledge envelopes in church today. Thank you in advance for your support!

Your gift to CMAA Makes an Impact!
The Opening Report for the 2025 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal (CMAA) reflects how as Christians, we are called to Open our hearts to God’s goodness in service to our brothers and sisters in need.
Through the CMAA, we show generosity toward the most vulnerable members of our community. We also benefit, as a parish, from the many ministries the CMAA supports, that touch our own lives and the lives of our fellow parishioners. Ministries that include vocations, Catholic education, and faith formation.
Our parish goal for the 2025 CMAA is $170,000. The goal has increased due to the fact that our offertory collections have increased and our church has grown the past year.. The diocese will return 70% of any amount we raise over our goal to us, to be used fruitfully within our own parish. Please review the materials you received in the mail from the Diocese of Joliet this month and prayerfully reflect on your gift to this year’s annual appeal. Thank you!

As the Diocese of Joliet launches the 2025 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal (CMAA), we are humbly asking all parishioners to pledge their support for this important effort, as together we can make a profound difference.
This year’s CMAA theme is Open your Heart to God’s Goodness. Through our support, we ensure that the mission and ministries of Christ’s Church are available to everyone. Together, we can help provide safe shelter for the homeless, feed the physical and social needs of those who are hungry, inspire those discerning a life of vocation and aid in the education of our next generation of Catholics. Our parish could not accomplish all of this on its own. As a diocese working together, we can do so much more.
Our parish goal for the 2025 CMAA is $170,000. The goal has increased due to the fact that our offertory collections have increased and our church has grown the past year. Plus, 70% of any amount we raise over our goal will be returned to us and used fruitfully within our own parish. Please review the materials you receive in the mail from the Diocese of Joliet this month and prayerfully reflect on your gift to this year’s annual appeal. If you do not receive a CMAA mailing, please contact the main office. Thank you!
