From Cardinal Gregory: My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, As we embark on a new and hopeful year, first and foremost, I am filled with gratitude for your past support of the Church of Washington through the Annual Appeal. In 2022, we ordained ten new priests, supported twelve local crisis pregnancy centers, welcomed more than 800 new Catholics into the Church, educated more than 25,000 youth in our schools, and ministered to countless more families and individuals throughout our archdiocese. We could not accomplish this without your incredible generosity. In the difficult times we live, I know that charitable giving is not easy. In addition to tending to your own and many needs, the missions you care about also have increasing needs, including our Church. However, I assure you that in whatever you are able to give, God sees your hidden sacrifice and desires to reward you (Mt 6:4). Click to donate.
