It’s that time of year! The Diocesan Lenten Appeal is held during Lent because the season is perfect Time to Share the many blessings we have all been given. Thank you to all of you who share weekly in offertory, and thank you to the many people that gave to the Diocesan Lenten Appeal last year.

The 2024 appeal raised more than 3 million that was returned to parishes across the Diocese of Greensburg, including ours. The remainder of the proceeds made a significant impact on the ministries related to Regional Faith Formation, Priestly Vocations, Catholic Charities and the International Priest Program.

Every parish has a goal to raise to help with those programs. And every penny we raise above the goal stays in our parish, with no assessment from the Diocese.

Your 2025 donation will allow us to make any needed repairs and do routine maintenance to our facilities as well as fund our operating budget.

So when you get a letter in the mail about the Diocesan Lenten Appeal called A Time to Share, I hope you’ll open it and consider giving. Thank you!
