"Call to Share is a call to unity with Christ and solidarity to those in need." -Archbishop Naumann

Low income parishes depend on the support from the Call to Share campaign. We want to ensure that all of our churches, not just our own home parishes, are able to operate so that they can minister to their parishioners and surrounding communities.

The youth are the future of our Church! Giving them the support, opportunities, and experiences to deepen their faith is critical to their formation. In a time when there are a lot of outside pressures and temptations, we strive to make sure our youth have what they need to go out and face the world confidently with Christ.

Your generosity helps to minister to the deaf community in our Archdiocese. Everyone is called to share in the life of Christ, and through this ministry, deaf people are better able to participate in parish life and to know they are loved!

In our Archdiocese, we have a huge passion for the dignity of life, especially life in the womb. We want to foster a community that encourages and empowers women when they may feel scared or alone when faced with an unplanned pregnancy. Your gifts to the Archbishop's Call to Share go to help pregnant women get proper help and support through free lab-certified pregnancy tests, free sonograms to confirm pregnancy, and free counseling and advice.

Your generosity supports the Special Needs Ministry. They work to ensure that each parish can include every member in making them feel welcomed, included, and a part of the Body of Christ. https://buff.ly/2w0A3ap

By giving to the Archbishop's Call to Share Campaign, you are participating in the corporal works of mercy. Catholic Charities helps to feed the hungry by feeding thousands of families who don't have enough resources for food. They visit the sick with visits to the elderly and homebound, in home care, and hospice care. They clothe the naked with their brand new Turnstyle Thrift Store. They shelter the traveler through emergency services, immigration services and half-way homes. Catholic Charities can only do all these things because of your generosity.

Through the Archbishop's Call to Share campaign, you are able to help our seminarians prepare for the priesthood! These young men are working and studying hard to serve our Archdiocese.
