Catholic education gets a boost from the Appeal!
For thousands of kids, going to religious education at their parish is a chance to develop a deeper relationship with Jesus. These kids are taught by faith-filled educators who have been given quality tools to do the job of teaching our young people. At the center of creating these tools is the diocesan Education Department.
If you have not made a gift to the Bishop's Appeal, please prayerfully consider the impact it has on our parishes religious education programs, Catholic schools and communities.
If you would like to help, please prayerfully consider making a gift to the Bishop's Appeal today by clicking here.
Welcome Pope Francis by Helping Those He Loves Most! 
"Oh, how I wish for the Church that is poor and for the poor!""Our life is a journey, and when we stop moving, things go wrong."
Pope Francis - March 14 and 15, 2013
Our Holy Father has indicated that he wants us to celebrate his inauguration as Pope by performing acts of charity for the poor and those in need. As a concrete act of solidarity, we invite you to see the world as the Pope does – through the eyes of those struggling to make ends meet on a daily basis.
Modeling the Pope’s love for the "least among us" and moving forward on our call to love thy neighbor, the Pontifical Mission Societies and Catholic Relief Services seek your support. To learn more about helping those He loves most click here.

Catholic Foundation helps support 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.
The Catholic Foundation has been Helping Change Lives for Over a Decade
Since its founding in 1997, the Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of Green Bay has distributed more than $15,250,000 to support Church ministries and services for the spiritual, educational, and social needs of
God's people.
