Vocations: https://vimeo.com/900261386 -Are you ready to hear about the exciting developments happening in our diocese? This year’s annual appeal is centered around the theme “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11), which is particularly special because it aligns with the National Eucharistic Revival’s focus on fostering Eucharistic devotion at the parish level. By strengthening our liturgical life through the faithful celebration of the Mass and Eucharistic adoration, we can deepen our spiritual connection to the Lord. And that's not all! Our diocese is also celebrating 40 years of serving our faithful as a Eucharistic people. As the Director of the Tribunal/Canonical Affairs Office, I have the pleasure of seeing first-hand how the appeal supports the essential work of our vocations, seminary, and diaconate formation programs. These programs are critical in supporting men who are answering the call to become priests and deacons, and the funds from the appeal directly support the seminarians and their journey to priesthood. But that's not all the annual appeal supports. The funds also go towards supporting the Office of the Bishop, Vicar General, Chancellor, Canonical Services, Tribunal, Episcopal Delegate for Religious, and Office of Liturgy. Plus, we can't forget about the many women and men religious who work tirelessly in our diocese. By giving to the annual appeal, we can all play a role in spreading the Good News throughout our community.

Resources and Support: https://vimeo.com/900260730 - As the Supervisor of Buildings, Construction, Properties, HUD Housing for the elderly, and the Administrator of Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Cemetery for the Diocese of Palm Beach, Dan Lewis is responsible for ensuring that everything runs smoothly in the diocesan schools, parishes, missions, and the pastoral center. But that's not all - Dan's team also provides top-notch HR services to support employment needs across the diocese. And if you think that's impressive, wait till you hear about the Office of Development activity. This team is responsible for maintaining contact with the wonderful contributors who support the diocese. They even maintain a diocesan-wide database of contributors and supply reports to parishes and schools to help foster a culture of philanthropy.

Marriage and Family: https://vimeo.com/900259776 - Cathy Loh, director of the Office of Marriage, Family Life, Faith Formation and Youth Ministry, reminds us whether we are coordinating an Anniversary Mass to honor marriages, hosting marriage preparation for couples who seek the Sacrament of Marriage, forming and supporting mentors, starting parish youth ministry programs, training volunteers, teaching Theology of the Body to parents and students at parishes, and our Catholic schools, or hosting Unbound Healing Prayer sessions in support of those who are spiritually hurting; these ministries would not be possible without the support of the Diocesan Services Appeal.

Cultural Ministries: https://vimeo.com/900258923 - Did you know that the diocese is dedicated to supporting a wide array of cultures, including Hispanic, Vietnamese, Haitian, Filipino and many others? That's right! Through various programs, the diocese offers annual celebrations such as the Encuentro, Masses in multiple languages, and even liturgical assistance. But that's not all - the School of Christian Formation is also in full swing, offering a whopping 130 class sessions in both English and Spanish at various locations throughout the diocese. And get this, they even celebrate an annual graduation ceremony for about 100 students! It's amazing to see how this community comes together to celebrate diversity and provide support for all its members.

Communications: https://vimeo.com/900257996 - Have you ever wondered how we are able to produce the Florida Catholic newspaper, provide our weekly televised Catholic Mass to those who are hospitalized and homebound, and engage with our faithful on social media? Well, it's all thanks to the DSA donors! Jennifer Trefelner, the Director of Communications and Development, recently shed light on this during a discussion. The DSA funds our diocesan website, which is the backbone of our digital presence, and helps us to teach best practices to schools and parishes. With the support of DSA donors, we are able to make these valuable initiatives possible and reach more than 250,000 readers each week through our print and digital copies of the Florida Catholic. And that's not all - our weekly televised Catholic Mass is seen by nearly 6,000 viewers each week, bringing hope and comfort to those who are homebound or hospitalized. So, when you are a DSA donor, you're making a real difference in our community.

Catholic Schools: https://vimeo.com/900257256 - Meet Corey Heroux, the principal of John Carroll High School and a true product of our Catholic schools. As someone who has witnessed the impact of the Diocesan Services Appeal (DSA) firsthand, she knows just how important it is for the Office of Catholic Schools. Did you know that the DSA provides funding for professional development for school administrators, in-service training for employees, educational programs for administrators, guidance of state and local funding sources, and much more? With its support, the Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Palm Beach can build learning communities that are based on the Gospel message of Jesus Christ and rich in Catholic values and tradition. At the heart of this mission is a commitment to teach the "whole child" in mind, body, and spirit. It's no wonder that Corey and her colleagues take this responsibility seriously, as they strive to create an environment that not only educates students but also nurtures their faith and character.

Catholic Charities: https://vimeo.com/900256576 - Imagine waking up every day, not knowing where your next meal will come from or how you'll find a safe place to sleep. For many people in Palm Beach, this is their reality. But thanks to the incredible work of Dr. Ellen Wayne and the team at Catholic Charities, there is hope and support for those in need. As the CEO of Catholic Charities, Dr. Ellen Wayne leads a team of compassionate individuals who are dedicated to serving the community. From the Anti-Human Trafficking Program/Bakhita Empowerment Program to the Samaritan Center/Transitional Housing program, Catholic Charities offers a wide range of services to address the unique needs of each individual they serve. And none of this would be possible without the generous support of donors like you, who contribute to Catholic Charities through the DSA. Your donations make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most, providing a lifeline of support and hope for a brighter future. So thank you for your ongoing support of Catholic Charities. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those in need and build a stronger, more compassionate community for all.
