GOAL
Each year, the Bishop conducts an annual appeal to raise funds for important ministries and services provided by the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings. While many parishes provide an array of services and ministries, many smaller parishes and missions do not have the resources to do so. The support raised by the Annual Catholic Appeal allows the Church to share resources with our brothers and sisters in Christ who rely on our assistance. With our help, even the smallest parishes and missions throughout our diocese can support a pastor, a church building, and needed ministries. Visit https://diocesegfb.org/aca/ to learn more about the needs met when you support the Annual Catholic Appeal, whether outright or through the Care and Share Endowment.
