Toolkit for Pastors and Parish Staff Members

Thank you for visiting our toolkit for the 2025 Annual Diocesan Appeal. This page is designed for those who will be leading and conducting the effort at their parishes. This can include pastors, parish business managers, bookkeepers, and parish secretaries. As the Appeal develops, this site will be updated with key templates and messages to help you talk with parishioners about the importance of the effort.

In-Pew Weekend #1 and #2: March 8 – 9, 2025 and March 15 – 16, 2025

English and Spanish Announcement Weekend Script: This script should be used at all Masses during the Appeal’s Announcement Weekend on March 1st and 2nd. This weekend is one of the keys to this year’s Annual Appeal effort as it serves as an important lead-up to the in-pew solicitation weekends.

Appeal Parish Sharing Formula

The parish sharing formula for the 2025 Appeal is the same as the 2024 Appeal and is as follows:

A non-mission parish receives 20% for anything collected up to the parish’s target and 50% for anything collected over target.

A mission parish continues to receive the same 50% back from the first dollar collected.

2025 Appeal Evergreen Images

The evergreen images below are not tied to a specific weekend. This means you may choose to use them in any order you would like, but the important thing is you use them frequently to keep the Appeal in people’s minds. There are two different sets of images. The first batch is images that can be used in your parish bulletins in complement to the bulletin announcements. The second batch is images that can be used on your parish’s social media page(s) as well as on your parish website. All images below are provided in English and Spanish for your convenience.
