On-Line Giving, a Note From the Office of Mission Advancement

Our thanks to all those parishes who have rolled out the 2023 Bishop’s Ministries Appeal. We are already receiving some wonderful gifts.

Would you please put this link on your parish website? https://www.oakdiocese.org/bishops-appeal-donation-page

Online giving is more popular than ever, and this link allows your parishioners to put the parish name on the form. The link also has the Bishop’s video links in English and Spanish.

Finally, we have received many calls asking about the funds raised and how they will be used. Gifts to the Bishop's Ministries Appeal, as well as other gifts received for specific purposes, are held in trust by the Diocese of Oakland and can only be used for their intended purpose. Please continue to support your parish and the Bishop's Ministries Appeal, so the many good works that happen in our parishes and Diocese can continue.

Thank you for your support of the appeal.
