Our Catholic faith is universal – one teaching, one Church and one Body of Christ. From cradle to grave each of us learns of and experiences this faith most immediately and intimately in our local parish. The Bishop, as teacher of the faith, has the responsibility to assure that lifelong formation is a priority in the parishes and that the faithful are afforded opportunities to grow in the life of Christ! 

To date, we have received $63,265 toward our goal of $61,170! We are very grateful to the 167 donors who have helped us achieve our goal.  Each of us plays an important role through our support. Pledge forms are available in the Gathering Space - or contribute online at:  www.catholicfsmn.org/Appeal.
