Bishop's Annual Appeal
Bishop’s Annual Appeal for Catholic Ministries is the fundraising arm of the Catholic Diocese of Dallas with an overall goal of ensuring that funds are raised to support vital diocese ministries and their programs. The Appeal is dedicated to supporting Catholic Education, social service ministries, Pastoral Ministries, and the formation of priests and deacons. Over 26,000 families pledged over $7.7 million dollars in 2018 to support the Appeal’s mission.
Nurturing Future
Well-prepared clergy are essential to fostering the spiritual and moral vitality of our parishes, schools, and ministries, ensuring that our faith continues to flourish through our communities and is passed on to future generations. The Clergy Formation Appeal seeks to support seminarians, priests, and deacons of the Diocese of Dallas.
Bishop's Invitational for Scholarships
Since its beginning in 2011, the Bishop’s Invitational has raised more than $4.5M and provided financial aid to 3,000 students. Proceeds benefit scholarships for Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Dallas.
Homebound Giving
Homebound Ministry allows the local parish to be the hands and feet of Christ, and to bring the compassion of Christ to those whose circumstances prevent them from being able to visit their local parish. As the Diocese of Dallas continues to accompany those who remain homebound, we invite you to make a gift to help us evangelize through Homebound Ministry.
