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,

Through your Church,
You have called us to a New Evangelization.
Through your Son,
You have called us to carry forward your Mission of Love.

Give us the courage to share your Gospel
with those who seek truth
and the generosity to share from our bounty
so that others may know Your love.

Place in our hearts the desire to live our faith fully
and to make Christ present to others
that we might bring about a transformation
in the lives of many.

Give us the Grace to see the need around us
and to be generous in giving to the Archbishop’s Appeal.
May all who are helped through its ministries
receive healing in Your abiding love.

In Jesus’ name we pray, AMEN.
