Your Parish Appeal Team
The Parish 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 Appeal Team in each parish is vital to the success of the Catholic Charities Appeal in your parish and across the Diocese of Cleveland.
