2018 BISHOP’S APPEAL WINDING DOWN

The 2019 Bishop’s Appeal that funds the ministries and services of the Green Bay Diocese will conclude on June 30. When there is a deficit at the end of the campaign, parishes are billed for the difference - a situation we hope to avoid. All gifts are important, no matter the size. If you haven’t had an opportunity to donate yet, here’s how you can donate today:

• Make a check payable to The Catholic Foundation, and write Bishop’s Appeal in the memo line. Place it in the collection basket at Mass.
• Mail your pledge or check to the Catholic Foundation at PO Box 22128, Green Bay, WI 54305.
• For more info, or to give by credit card or electronic fund transfer go to www.catholicfoundationgb.org/give.
