Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA)
Each year, every parish in the Diocese of Brooklyn participates in an annual appeal . This communal effort raises financial support for life-giving ministries throughout Brooklyn and Queens. Gifts made to the Appeal are credited towards a parish goal and over-goal monies are returned to the parish. all of which will be returned to the parish since we are over goal. That money will benefit our Capital Reserve Fund for major repairs and improvements. Envelopes are available in the church vestibule if you haven’t made your gift yet. Call the rectory to receive an appeal form by mail or call the Appeal Office at 718-965-7300.
The 2023 Annual Catholic Appeal supports the mission of our parish and the daily work of the Church in Brooklyn and Queens in ways no one parish can accomplish alone by supporting the following ministries:
Catholic Youth Ministry Initiative, Catholic Charities; Hospital, College and Prison Chaplains; Diocesan Vocations Office; Catholic Migration Services; Office of Faith Formation; Bishop Mugavero Residence for infirmed clergy; Futures in Education Scholarship Foundation
All donations made to the ACA above our parish goal are returned directly back to our parish for operations and improvements.
