All of us at the Office of Mission Advancement are most grateful for your efforts and the efforts of your parishioners in completing a successful 2023 Appeal. As of Jan. 18, 2024, together we have raised $2,622,567.56 for the 2023 Bishop's Ministries Appeal. We are blessed that 33 parishes met 100% or more of their parish goal, resulting in more funds being made available for local parish programs and projects.
The New Year brings the start of the 2024 Bishop’s Ministries Appeal (BMA). This year, our goal is to strengthen the Appeal and its efforts. The theme for the 2024 Bishop’s Ministries Appeal will be: Many Ministries, One Church. This theme means more now than ever.
The 2024 BMA will commence on Sunday, March 31, Easter Sunday. The Office of Mission Advancement team is preparing BMA materials, fundraising guidelines and marketing collateral for distribution.
We will be hosting a 2024 BMA Kick-Off Meeting in-person; that date is still being finalized. We will also be hosting two additional trainings focusing on various fundraising topics.
The goal for the 2024 Bishop’s Ministries Appeal is $3M. We are optimistic that, with a new focus, strong strategic plan, and your continued support along with the support of your parishioners, we will attain the $3M goal.
