Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I want to thank you for your support of your parishes and missions and our Diocese on the heels of a successful United in Faith Capital Campaign. While our capital campaign will continue for the next three years, it is imperative that we continue to sustain our diaconate and seminarian formation, diocesan ministries and priest retirement. Therefore, as members of our faithful family, I am inviting you to participate in our upcoming 2023 Annual Catholic Appeal.

The theme for the 2023 Annual Catholic Appeal is Anchored in Truth. In the shifting sands of our world, it is our Catholic Faith and the teaching of our Church that anchors our Faith. Our goal for this year’s campaign is $2.3 million to support these important services in the Church throughout our Diocese.

Please prayerfully consider your level of support to the 2023 Annual Catholic Appeal. For your convenience, you can make a gift securely online here.

As this New Year begins, you will hear more from our parishes and missions on contributing to the 2023 Annual Catholic Appeal. Thank you for your faithfulness to participate in the Appeal. May God bless you for your generosity and may the peace of Christ be with all of you. I am yours

In the light and love of the Lord,

Most Reverend David P. Talley, M.S.W., J.C.D.

Sixth Bishop, Catholic Diocese of Memphis
