2025 Bishop’s Lenten Appeal (BLA)

The 2025 BLA mailing was recently sent to parishioners. This year’s theme is: “Abounding in Hope.” After reflecting upon the blessings God has given you, please prayerfully consider a pledge. Sharing your gifts with the 40+ ministries and programs funded by the BLA truly impacts the lives of thousands across our diocese.

Our parish is over 80% to our $298,000 goal! We thank everyone who has made a pledge and invite those who haven’t to do so today with the link below.

To learn more about the BLA and the fruit it bears, or to make a gift, click here.
