Bishop’s Annual Appeal 2020

For well over 50 years, our diocese, through its parishes, schools, and ministries, has enjoyed serving and supporting people of South Carolina.  We support our parish, but it’s important to reach out beyond our walls.  A gift to the 2020 Bishop’s Annual Appeal helps address the needs of our entire diocesan family, Catholic or not, which includes all of South Carolina.

Part of our responsibility as Christian stewards is giving back financially. As stewards, we are called to give of our time through service and prayer, our talents through work and ministry, and our treasure by supporting our Church and our brothers and sisters in Christ who need us. Participating in the Bishop’s Annual Appeal is an opportunity to practice living out stewardship of our treasure.

The Appeal supports Catholic Charities, funding for retired priests, youth ministry, outreach ministries to the poor, formation for our seminarians, college campus ministries, and so much more.

The Youth of Saint Anne and Saint Jude have benefitted significantly through participation in Diocese Sponsored  Events. Check out the BAA Video link above and you will see the familiar faces of some of our Youth AND Adorno Priests from South Carolina.  We are an active part of this Diocese. They make it possible for us to educate our Children, Youth and Young Adults in the Faith and keep the light of Christ shining in them ALL.

This year, we have a parish goal of raising $ 37,931 over the next ten months.
