The Bishop’s Appeal is a fundraising campaign; which each parish is asked to undertake to invite parishioners to support the operational needs of the larger Church of Green Bay. The Bishop’s Appeal impacts the faith lives of families, individuals and communities throughout northeastern Wisconsin.

What percent of the Bishop's Appeal goes to each area? These distributions from your gifts help fund the work of the Diocese.
