2023 Bishop’s Annual Appeal
Renewed and Sent on Mission by the Eucharist

You should have received a letter from Bishop Checchio last week announcing the 2023 Bishop’s Annual Appeal. Our parish can share in a successful Appeal by earning a rebate of 50% of the amount collected over the goal.

Through your support of the Bishop’s Annual Appeal, you help those in our diocese whose needs are the greatest—the poor, the homeless, and those struggling with illness or grief. Among other needed pastoral ministries, your gift also supports the formation of seminarians and the ministry of our hospital and
prison chaplains. The many pastoral, educational, and charitable ministries of the Diocese of Metuchen would not be possible without a generous contribution from every household.

Inflation is just one factor bringing more people to our doors, especially struggling, working parents and seniors on a fixed income. With your help, Catholic Charities distributed over 193,000 pounds of food last year and gave $600,000 in rental assistance. Others are being helped with transitional housing, affordable childcare or counseling services. Dedicated to upholding the fundamental Catholic Social Teaching principle that all human beings, created in the image and likeness of God, have by their very existence inherent worth, Catholic Charities makes it a priority to treat every person who comes to its doors with dignity and respect. Thanks to your gift to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal, Catholic Charities continues to effectively witness Christ’s love in the world.

Please be as generous as your means allow.
