What is the Bishop’s Appeal?

The Bishop’s Appeal is a direct appeal to people of the Diocese, asking
them to make a gift to support the mission and ministries of the Diocese of Green Bay.  So what does a gift to the Bishop’s Appeal do?

• Those in need of counseling are helped at Catholic Charities
• Men receive training and formation to become deacons
• Pastoral care is available to church members through Care Ministers
• New Evangelization brings faith-filled programming into our Church communities

Foundation supports the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help

The Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help sits quietly in Northeastern Wisconsin, surrounded by dairy farms and rolling cornfields. Seemingly untouched by our modern world, for over 150 years it has been a place where the faithful have come to seek intercession from the Blessed Virgin Mother.

The Catholic Foundation assists the Shrine by doing an annual fundraising campaign, encouraging people to establish endowments that benefit the Shrine and by helping people leave a legacy by remembering the Shrine in their wills and estates. To help the Shrine today, please consider making a gift.

If you would like more information on how you may leave a legacy to support the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help, your parish or other ministries and programs in the Diocese of Green Bay, please contact Cindi Brawner at 920-272-8173 or Josh Diedrich at 920-272-8197.

Impacting Lives for more than Fifteen Years

Since its founding in 1997, the Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of Green Bay has distributed more than $19,000,000 to support Church ministries and services for the spiritual, educational, and social needs of
God’s people.

We can help you:

• Make a gift that immediately makes a difference
• Make a gift that both gives you a life income and helps others
• Make a gift that will help others later through deferred giving
• Make a gift to a new or existing fund that
  benefits a parish or ministry

Whether you are interested in assisting a ministry of the Church, educating our seminarians, remembering the Church in your will, helping your parish or the Church in many other ways bring Christ to thousands of people throughout Northeastern Wisconsin, the Catholic Foundation can assist you.

Each gift helps. Thank you on behalf of everyone you are assisting.
