My Dear Friends in Christ,
Please join me in building up God’s Church in our diocese by supporting the 2012 Annual Diocesan Appeal. Many important ministries that reach out to God’s people of all ages and circumstance depend on your sharing of the gifts God has given you.
It is "in Christ alone" that our hope is found. It is this hope that gives us strength, courage and solid ground to face the challenges of our lives. It is the Father’s gift of His Son that inspires the ministries and programs supported by the Appeal, "for we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance."
For 20 years, the Annual Diocesan Appeal has provided a way for the faithful Catholics of our diocese to share with God and His Church a portion of the gifts He has given to us. Thousands of our brothers and sisters in need are given hope by your gifts of time, talent and treasure shared each year through the Appeal. I am so grateful for the support of the Church in the past and I ask you to please be as generous as you can to the 2012 Annual Diocesan Appeal. May God bless you for your faithfulness to the ministries of His Church.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Rev. John M. Quinn
Bishop of Winona

What is the Annual Diocesan Appeal?
The Annual Diocesan Appeal (ADA) is a primary source of funding to help sustain and expand ministries in the 114 parishes, 30 schools, seminary, programs and departments of the diocesan church.
Why do we need these ministries?
The Catholic Church serves the needs of many people in our local diocese and beyond. While some of these services are offered at the parish level, it is often more effective when many join together in ministry and service of the people of the diocese. Each diocesan ministry exists to support the work of our local parishes.
What should I give?
A Gift of Prayer - pray for the Church, for our diocesan family and for all people who support or are supported by the ADA.
Time and Talent - volunteer in your parish, school, community and in diocesan ministries.
A Sacrificial Gift - consider making a pledge or one-time financial gift. Please continue working toward your Stewardship Commitment of 10%; designating 5% to your parish, 1% to the diocese, and 4% of annual income to other charities. - volunteer in your parish, school, community and in diocesan ministries. - pray for the Church, for our diocesan family and for all people who support or are supported by the ADA.
