Contribute to the Annual Catholic Appeal

We encourage you to support the Annual Catholic Appeal. The proceeds from the Appeal subsidize many of the most important but in some cases unseen ministries of the Diocese, including Catholic Charities, hospital and school chaplains, youth ministries, migration services, seminarians, and retired priests. The money collected for the Annual Catholic Campaign does not support the administrative needs of the Diocese, but specific and necessary ministries that help the people of Brooklyn and Queens.

The St. Charles Annual Catholic Appeal goal is $36,302. We are getting close, but need your help to reach our goal. We are 83% of the way there! 30 parish households have donated or pledged $30,050. Thank you for your generous support of the Appeal. Please prayerfully consider if this is the year you wish to become a member of the Annual Catholic Appeal household.
