Your gift matters in 2024.

Together we bring Christ to others

The 2024 Annual Catholic Appeal emphasizes that as Catholics, the real presence of the Lord Jesus in the Holy Eucharist compels us to bring His healing presence to the world around us.   Bishop Soto emphasizes that through the Annual Catholic Appeal we come together to ensure that the saving mercy of Christ reaches our brothers and sisters.     

Thank you for your heartfelt response in 2023.

2023 results demonstrate that God’s people in the Diocese of Sacramento are committed to ensuring that our neighbors in need can experience His healing presence. More than $4.5 million in commitments were received from 21,000 Catholics.

You make the difference. 465,000 were helped last year.

Prayerfully consider a gift in 2024 with an online donation or through your parish. Your gift helps ensure that throughout the year our Catholic Charities can respond to the most pressing needs.

Everyone benefits from your gift

The Poor and the Vulnerable

Your generosity enables Catholic charitable organizations and parish ministries to assist people who are in desperate need. Not everyone can be on the front lines providing assistance. Through the Annual Catholic Appeal we can all provide resources that go directly to the organizations in need of support. We can all be there for others through the Appeal.  

Seminarians and Catholic Education

The Appeal provides critical support to offset the rising cost of education for seminarians currently in formation to serve as priests in our diocese. The Appeal also provides funds for Catholic School tuition assistance in our most economically challenged communities.

Parish Social Service Ministries

25% of funds contributed to the Appeal are returned to each parish for its own social service ministries. Your participation in the Annual Catholic Appeal has enabled parishes to add new ministries, expand existing programs or support local Catholic community charities.

Each of Us

The Annual Catholic Appeal is an opportunity for each of us to go forth and proclaim the Gospel in our lives by sharing our resources with others in need.
