We are a diocese known for our hard work and hospitality. Let’s continue to Receive, Cultivate and Share God’s Abundant gifts in our efforts to grow The Church. The ministries below are needed to help the church and our diocese do just that, grow. Our 2018 goal is $1.33 million. Your support of this year’s Diocesan Appeal will help the following ministries in many ways. Every pledge, large and small, is necessary to our success. The new Diocesan Appeal Logo is a representation of the beautiful landmarks that make up our great diocese. From the beauty of Chimney Rock in the West, to the windmills that run all
across our sandhills, the Rivers that flow through our diocese, to our Mother Church, the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and finally the Holy Spirit that draws us all closer to Christ as One Holy and Apostolic church.

Thank you for letting God's Love affect you so that what you offer back to our Lord may be an ever more authentic response.
In Christ, our Hope!

Diocesan Appeal Prayer
Generous and loving God, you call us to be disciples of your Son Jesus and good stewards of your many gifts. Open our minds and hearts to a greater awareness and deeper appreciation of your countless blessings. Transform us through the power of your Spirit to nurture a stewardship way of life marked by faith-filled prayer, service to our neighbor, and generous sharing. Teach us to be faithful servants of your gifts. With Mary’s help, may we return ten-fold the gifts entrusted to us. We pray this through Christ, our Lord. Amen. - Bishop Robert Morneau |
