The Catholic Ministries Appeal (CMA) is a crucial annual fundraising effort that calls on Catholics in the Diocese of Rochester to unite in support of our Church's mission. By participating in the CMA, you play a vital role in sustaining the vibrancy of parish and diocesan ministries, services, and programs.
It's important to recognize that the CMA is not just about raising funds; it's about fostering a sense of partnership among the faithful. The funds collected through the CMA contribute significantly, covering more than half of the Diocese's operating budget. This financial support is indispensable for the continuation and enhancement of various initiatives that benefit our entire community.
What makes the CMA particularly impactful is that more than half of every dollar donated directly or indirectly benefits your parish. This means that your contribution has a tangible and meaningful impact on the local level, supporting the programs and services that make our parishes vibrant and responsive to the needs of the community.
In essence, when you participate in the Catholic Ministries Appeal, you are not just giving financially; you are actively contributing to the well-being of your parish and the broader Diocese. Your support ensures that our Church remains a source of guidance, assistance, and inspiration for all.
Let us join hands in this important endeavor, recognizing that together, we can continue to build a stronger and more compassionate community through the Catholic Ministries Appeal.
