The Catholic Ministries Appeal helps lay paths of evangelization through the formation of our priests, deacons and lay leaders. It assists in training our religious education catechists and adult faith formation leaders who educate our youth and parish families, and programs that promote the sanctity of life at all stages. Working together, we are all enriching the lives of all Long Island. 

Whatever your plans are for the upcoming Lenten season, I ask that you also consider adding a gift to the CMA as a part of your almsgiving. This important appeal helps so many people across Long Island. We cannot do this work without you!

So, I ask you to please join me and all your brothers and sisters within our diocese in making a gift to the 2026 Catholic Ministries Appeal. Please do so to the best of your ability as all gifts matter, regardless of the amount.

Please also remember, 100% of every dollar raised is restricted to fund the objectives, programs, and mission supported by the Catholic Ministries Appeal.
