Annual Catholic Appeal

Our faith is lived in schools and parishes, soup kitchens and counseling centers, on street corners and in churches, where people of all backgrounds in every neighborhood of the Archdiocese of St. Louis are served.

Your gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal helps support the necessary financial needs of our schools, parishes and programs in the Archdiocese. Your gift touches the lives of the unborn, the student, the infirmed, the elderly, the widow, the homeless and those suffering from injustice.
