The Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) started on 2009 as a way to support ministries and services across Southern Wisconsin.

The ACA provides an opportunity to reflect upon the fact that every Catholic is part of a local Church and of the Universal Church. Each of us is responsible not only for his or her parish, but also for the well-being of the Church throughout our Diocese and throughout the world.

Contributors to the Annual Catholic Appeal have become the cornerstone of our Diocese in its mission to assist all in meeting Christ in our daily lives. We are a people who understand the endless bounty of our God and give in joyful thanksgiving. We are a blessed community with open hearts and helping hands. Building a strong annual appeal draws us together to share more... to love more… to accomplish more… in His name, Jesus Christ.
