The Archbishop’s Appeal is the annual fundraising campaign that provides supplemental financial assistance to institutions, programs and ministries affiliated with the Catholic Church throughout the Archdiocese of San Antonio. It is an opportunity for Catholics throughout the Archdiocese to join together to express their solidarity with the Church and Archbishop Gustavo by making a freewill contribution to help carry on the important work Christ has entrusted to us as God’s stewards.

Since 1993, the Archbishop’s Appeal has raised some $40 million in funding and provided more than $8 million to parishes as rebates from the appeal. In addition, the office has facilitated the procurement of more than $10 million in grants during that time. More.

Loving Father, Heavenly Father, we thank you for the joy-filled gift of faith. Increase our faith that we may be bold in proclaiming your Truth and courageous in responding to our call to serve you by serving the needs of others.

Lord, free us from all attachments to the things of this world and instill in us a spirit of generosity and of faithful stewardship, so that we may multiply your gifts among us for the glory of your name.

May our sacrificial offering through the Archbishop’s Appeal be for us a true act of faith and a reflection of our love for you and for our neighbor. We pray with grateful hearts, in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
