Diocese of Raleigh. These ministries include: (list

ministries that will resonate with your Parishioners)

How does my gift to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal

help? The Bishop's Annual Appeal is our way of sup-

porting the work of the Catholic Church throughout

Eastern North Carolina. Builds our faith communi-

ties through ministry, education and training in each

Parish; Provides our future Priests with their semi-

nary education; Serves thousands of people through

Catholic Charities, whose focus is providing the cor-

poral works of mercy to our neighbors in need. Cre-

ates an environment for our children where they will

learn fundamental life values and receive a quality

education through our Faith Formation programs

and Catholic School system; To make a gift, donate

online at GivetoBAA.org. Bishop’s Annual Appeal

pledge envelopes are also available in the church.
