Through the ACA, lives are touched through Catholic education, charitable outreach, spiritual formation, pastoral ministry, parish assistance, and many other essential programs that serve people at every stage of life.<br><br>The diocesan goal for 2026 is $3.25 million, and every gift, no matter the size, plays a role in helping the Church carry out this mission. Gifts may be made as a one-time donation or pledged over time, with payments completed by December 31, 2026.<br><br>Parishes that exceed their goal receive 25% of the amount raised over their goal, returned directly to the parish without diocesan assessment, strengthening both the wider Church and our local community.<br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\"
