Catholic Ministries Appeal 2025

Dear Friends:

As we continue to embrace our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, let us continue to be Renewed by the Eucharist and Sent out on Mission to strengthen our commitment to our Faith, and bring hope to those in need. This is a time of grace and joy-a call to come
together as one community, united in purpose and love for Christ and His Church.

Individually, we may feel limited in what we can do, but together, we can achieve extraordinary things! The Catholic Ministries Appeal (CMA) allows us to extend Christ’s love throughout Long Island, ensuring that those who are struggling find support, encouragement, and a renewed sense of hope.

The CMA is more than just a fundraiser-it is an opportunity for us to unite in mission, strengthen the Church, and continue the incredible work of Christ in our communities.

Your gifts support the education of our seminarians, deacons, and lay leaders as they prepare to serve in our diocese. Your gifts also help keep that fire burning in our young people in religious education classes and those participating in Youth, Young Adult, Campus Ministry, and programs such as Camp Quo Vadis. Our Respect Life initiatives, our Catholic Charities and parish social ministry programs, and our food pantries, all can work tirelessly and passionately because of your support.

Every gift, no matter the size, has a profound impact, and 100% of all monies raised go to support the Appeal and its ministries.

We are deeply grateful for your generosity and your willingness to walk this journey of faith with us. Together, let us build a stronger, more vibrant Church for all.

Thank you for your continued dedication and generosity. May God bless you.

Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Fr. Tom
