Dear Pastors and Brothers and Sisters, I would like to sincerely thank you ALL for your strong efforts and partnership with the Diocese of Stockton in the Bishop’s Ministry Appeal (BMA). The Bishop’s Ministry Appeal supports the many ministries, programs and services provided by the Diocese, which benefit all of our parishes.
The 2023 Bishop’s Ministry Appeal (BMA) was a great success! Over 7,500 parishioners generously gave $3,244,238 in 2022. 32 parishes achieved their goal, with 100% of all funds a parish raises above goal returned to the parish. I am pleased to report over $718,000 will be distributed to parishes for the 2023 BMA.
Thank you for graciously partnering with us to strengthen our parishes and ministries, and to continue building His Kingdom in our Diocese.
