Parish Processes
Promotional Resources 2023
The diocese will not be distributing pre-printed posters this year.
All registered households will be mailed a letter from Bishop, this year’s ABA brochure, a pledge card, and a return envelope in advance of Pledge Weekend, which is September 23-24, 2023. Parishioners at parishes who do their Bishop’s Appeal in July will receive this mailing in July instead.
