New for 2025
- Your material kit will include an instruction manual with important information for a successful campaign. You may find an electronic copy of the manual here.
- Appeal impact video showcasing the many people and ministries that benefit from the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. These are excerpts from our variable brochure created by deanery to highlight some of the stories of each region. These 20-plus stories are available to read here.
- In-pew collection instructions have been updated and are included in your materials box and online under Parish Resources. Please follow the instructions to ensure the timely and accurate capture of all annual appeal gifts. Most notable is a simple envelope count, remittance sheet and email notification prior to shipping to Moore RMG for processing. You will receive an email back when your gifts are received for processing.
