Your support of the annual Bishop’s Appeal for Ministries helps provide essential ministries, programs, and services that build up the Church in East Tennessee by:

• providing free medical care for underserved areas
• supporting young men as they study to become our future priests
• enabling individuals to break free from a cycle of poverty through Catholic Charities
• enlivening faith formation for all ages

Thank you for your commitment to Catholic ministries and for caring for those around you in the communities where you live, work, and pray.

Your commitment to Catholic ministries helps meet the needs of your brothers and sisters in Christ, providing them with essential ministries, programs, and services throughout East Tennessee. Your gift today will:

• Support the growth of our Catholic faith through evangelization, catechesis, and ongoing formation
• Provide seminarians with the formation needed to answer God’s call to serve as our future priests
• Offer free medical care for underserved areas through the Mobile Medical Clinic
• Share the good news of Jesus Christ with young Catholics throughout our Diocese
• Provide shelter, food, education, and paths to self-sufficiency through Catholic Charities

Thank you for bringing the light of Jesus Christ to all you meet. You are helping to advance the Kingdom of God through your love and support!

Your commitment reflects the truth that God invites each of us to see our lives as a vocation, a daily call to love and to welcome others into that love. When you answer that call with generosity, you help build up the Church and strengthen our diocesan family.  

Your support of the Bishop’s Appeal for Ministries carries this work forward across East Tennessee by supporting key priorities in our faith community, including:

  • Fostering vocations to the priesthood
  • Engaging youth and young adults 
  • Serving neighbors in need 
  • Forming missionary disciples 
  • Strengthening our Catholic schools

Thank you for your commitment. Together, we can ensure the Church in East Tennessee thrives for generations to come!
