Conducting the Appeal at Your Parish

Your Parish Annual Appeal Team

The Parish Annual Appeal Team coordinates the Catholic Charities Annual Appeal In-Pew Weekends for each of our parishes. To ensure a successful Parish Appeal requires a team effort not just during the In-Pew Weekends but throughout the calendar year. Establishing a viable Annual Appeal Team in each parish is vital to the success of the Annual Appeal in your parish and across the Diocese of Cleveland.

"Our daughter works for Catholic Charities in the PAT program. She was a Foster Parent while living in Chicago but had to close her business due to COVID and moved back home to Ohio where she is being certified as a Foster Parent again. We cannot believe how far Catholic Charities goes to help those in need. Our daughter doesn’t make the money she did before, but believes in the work and feels this is where she is needed now! God bless and strengthen Catholic Charities and all its work!"
