More than 25 years ago, Bishop Robert Banks, Donald Long Sr., and Cindi Brawner planted a seed in northeastern Wisconsin.  It was with humble beginnings and deep faith that the seed was sown all those years ago.  Thanks to the generosity of families like yours, we have seen great fruit and brought Jesus to thousands of people. Here’s to another 25 years of prosperity and partnership with generous families like yours!

Living the Eucharist and Sharing the Gifts are the greatest acts of love we can give to our brothers and sisters in Christ. The Eucharist connects us to Jesus and inspires us to share God’s love with those we encounter.  The Bishop’s Appeal begins February 3-4, 2024.  Through your support, we are blessed to have the opportunity to share our gifts to further the mission of the Church.

Rev. Monsignor John Bernard Dewane, a Catholic Foundation board member emeritus, devout pastor, and diocesan administrator, passed away on February 15, 2024, at the age of 89.  His leadership was driven by the Holy Spirit.  He brought Jesus to hundreds through his diocesan work and played an important part in the beginning years of the Catholic Foundation.

Ash Wednesday kicks off the Lenten season on February 14, 2024, and with it comes many opportunities to grow our faith. Through Lenten observations, there is a recurring theme for this holy, reflective season: we give. With great love, we can give to others.  That is our mission for Lent. Together, we can follow Christ’s example and share our love with thousands throughout northeastern Wisconsin. 

Think back to when you discovered Jesus.  Often it is our loving parents who first introduce us to our Lord.  For many young people, a deeper discovery of Christ happens through faith formation educators.  In faith formation programs across the Diocese of Green Bay, children are learning about Jesus.  These programs help form the next generation in our Catholic faith.

Jesus calls us one by one to help people discover Him.  Through the one by One campaign, our goal is to raise $70 million to fund initiatives to support our parishes and Diocesan ministries. This capital campaign will help strengthen our parishes, grow vocations, lead more people to discover Christ, and bring Jesus to those in need.

Through the Raising Vocations Collection, we will be investing in ministries that encourage young men and women to say “Yes” to God’s calling to the priesthood or religious life. Through the generosity of thousands of people, the Raising Vocation Collection has raised more than $300,000.
