The “2020 Diocesan Annual Appeal: Bound Together in Hope” is now underway. This year’s theme speaks to the strength of our faith especially during the COVID-19 pandemic as we reach out to help each other as one body in Christ.

Gifts to the Annual Appeal will have a significant impact this year to help diocesan ministries serve an increasing number of people in need and provide opportunities to offer programs and services in different ways in response to the pandemic. Gifts to the appeal support: Catholic Social Services; Catholic Schools; Clergy Formation, Education and Support; Parish Life and Ministry Formation; Catholic Media and Communication; Parish Social Justice Grants and Parish Faith Formation Grants. Donors can designate their gift to any of those ministries.

To view any of the six regional Annual Appeal videos or to make a donation online, visit www.AnnualAppeal.org. Gifts may also be made by calling the Diocesan Development Office at (570) 207-2250 or by sending a donation to: Diocesan Annual Appeal, 300 Wyoming Avenue, Scranton, PA, 18503.
