"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called Children of God."
Matthew 5:9
The Catholic Ministry Appeal is simple, more transparent, and allows you to know exactly where your gifts are going so you can give with confidence. Since its inception in 2022, The Catholic Ministry Appeal has exceeded its goal each year! Thanks to the generosity of our grace-filled diocesan family, we know what is possible and the impact we have in our community.
In 2026, we will work together to raise $10.5 million to ensure ministries in the Diocese of Saint Petersburg can continue bringing ministry to life with every dollar donated toward our goal directly funding our ministries, outreach, and programs.
And, it is important to note that all of the ministries included in this appeal have a direct tie to our call to be missionary disciples, bringing others into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Together, through the Catholic Ministry Appeal, we respond to the needs of our local communities and support Catholics throughout their lives. With your gift, you are nurturing spiritual life, embracing God’s call to serve and accompanying missionary disciples in the Diocese of St. Petersburg.
MHR's 2026 GOAL: $88,000
In 2025, Most Holy Redeemer reached 85% of its goal. This year, we strive to reach 100% of our goal through an easier method for families that, if everyone participates, will ensure we reach our 2026 goal. MHR families can choose from three options for their contribution:
Option A: Give $5 each weekend to the CMA.
Option B: Give $25 each month to the CMA.
Option C: Give your gift of $220 for the whole year in one go.
Think of it as one of your subscriptions, except instead of getting free shipping on Amazon Prime, you're helping the ministries in your diocese stay active!
