Welcome to the 2022- 2023 
​Annual Diocesan Appeal...

What are the many ways the
Lord has Blessed us
and how do we recognize
His Love for us?
In fact, everything we have
from our gifts and talents
to every possession
are a Blessing from Him.

In recognizing that all is a gift and His intent is for us to share our gifts freely knowing that from sharing​we can open the eyes of our brothers and sisters to see Him.

​The 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!
