What is the
Diocesan Services Appeal?

The
Diocesan Services Appeal provides the funds necessary to support
Diocesan programs and ministries to serve God’s people
throughout the five county area served by the Diocese; and is
the main funding source for the operation of the Diocese of Palm
Beach. Within the counties of Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee,
Palm Beach and St. Lucie, there are 49 parishes and 4 missions.
The
objective of this annual appeal is to inspire each family and
individual to follow Christ’s example of stewardship in caring
for people in need.

We are
called to live a life of service in love of God and our
neighbor – united in faith sharing in love for the up
building of the Kingdom of God. By sharing in love through
the Diocesan Services Appeal, we bring God’s presence to our
brothers and sisters in a concrete way. |
