“Why do you give to the Catholic Stewardship Appeal?”
During a two-week period this summer, this question was posed to 11 people from varying walks of life, and the answers they gave were just as diverse as they were. Some did it because of faith; others, because of the example it set for their children. Still, others did it because they were directly touched by the Appeal. Whatever the reason, it soon became apparent that each response held an underlying theme: they gave because they witnessed first-hand what giving to the Appeal can do for the Catholic community of southeastern Wisconsin and beyond.
Whether you have supported the Appeal on an annual basis for years, or have never donated before and just want to learn more, we invite you to follow along and discover why so many people choose to support the Appeal through their time, talent and treasure.
This annual campaign is essential not only to sustain but grow ministry throughout the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. So much can be accomplished when we come together, uniting in spirit and faith to care for all those in need. Whether you give $10 or $500, each donation makes a difference.
