The Catholic Ministries Appeal provides an important way to financially support the good works of our Local Church, which is made up of the parishes, schools, and facilities of the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana, as well as our Chancery offices and staff in Lafayette.

When you donate to the Catholic Ministries Appeal, you are helping to pay for the formation of your seminarians, assisting with the health insurance and living expenses of your retired priests, and the college ministry programs at Ball State, Purdue, and Wabash College. Your gift supports the life-changing spiritual encounters with Christ at the Saint Joseph Retreat & Conference Center, the pastoral annulment proceedings at the Marriage Tribunal, and the creation and ministry of many programs. And your gift supports our parish right here at St. Maria Goretti, who benefits from the support and resources of our Diocese. These things contribute to an effort to help every soul across our 24 counties to know Jesus Christ and to foster a deeper personal commitment to follow Him in His Church.
