The Bishop’s Annual Appeal (BAA) is more than a yearly campaign, it is a shared mission of faith, hope, and service across the Diocese of Raleigh. Through the BAA, every Catholic is invited to join in building up the Church by supporting the essential ministries that bring Christ’s love to life in Eastern North Carolina.
Your gift helps form future priests, sustain Catholic schools, and nurture faith through evangelization and discipleship. It extends compassion through Catholic Charities, strengthens campus and parish ministries, and supports those most in need—the poor, the elderly, the sick, and the marginalized.
We are many parts, but all one body. The Bishop’s Annual Appeal unites all our parishes as one Catholic family, ensuring that the light of Christ continues to shine brightly in our communities today and for generations to come.
