The 2023 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal is now underway. As the Diocese of Joliet launches the 2023 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal (CMAA), we are asking all parishioners to pledge their support to this important effort for our community of faith. This year’s CMAA theme is We Belong to God. Through our support, we ensure that the mission and ministries of Christ’s Church are available to everyone. Together, we help the poor and vulnerable, increase vocations and educate people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities in the faith. Our parish could not accomplish all of this on its own.
Our parish’s goal for the 2023 CMAA is $58,200.00, and 70 percent of any amount we raise over our goal will be returned to us. St. Bernard parishioners have a long history of support this annual Diocesan appeal. In fact, St. Bernard parish received a rebate of over $4,000 from last year’s successful appeal and this was deposited in the parish’s building fund.
Please review the materials you receive in the mail from the Diocese of Joliet this month and prayerfully reflect on your gift to this year’s annual appeal.
If you do not receive a CMAA mailing, please contact the parish office.
