Join Us on a Mission of Hope:

Support the 2025 Archbishop’s Appeal for Ministries

On behalf of Father Gilberto and Archbishop Gustavo, we invite you to come together as pilgrims on a “Mission of Hope” this Jubilee Year and offer a gift of mercy to the 2025 Archbishop’s Appeal for Ministries. This annual campaign, which kicks off in February, invites St. Brigid parishioners and all of the faithful in our archdiocese to support more than 30 ministries that advance the mission of the Catholic Church in our area.

When you donate to the Appeal, you’ll bring hope to your brothers and sisters in Christ in 5 important ways:

1) You’ll support parish life & faith formation. This involves programs and outreach in parishes as well as to specialized communities. Examples include the deaf community and those on college campuses, in the criminal justice system, and in hospitals.

2) You’ll give the gift of a faith-based education. This involves, among other initiatives, a scholarship program to help families afford a Catholic school education for their children.

3) You’ll help provide selfless service to those in need. In this category is a broad array of social service ministries that help the poor, the elderly, women with a crisis pregnancy, individuals yearning for post-abortive healing, orphans, at-risk youth, refugees, and many others who need a helping hand.

4) You’ll accompany our shepherds. This includes formation of seminarians and deacons, care for retired priests, and other efforts.

5) You’ll help the Church evangelize through media. This portion of the campaign supports Today’s Catholic newspaper and Catholic Television of San Antonio.

Will you give the gift of hope today? We need your help to reach our parish goal of $$93,671, but the ultimate goal is to bless our brothers and sisters in Christ by helping fund programs that sustain life, faith, and family.

We invite you to respond to this call with a gift of love as you are able, be it a one-time gift or a monthly pledge that allows you to pay off your gift over 10 months. The size of the gift is not what matters. Each of us is called, as we are able, to make a return to God based on His blessings to us and in turn be a blessing to others.

To support this year’s Appeal, you may respond to the invitation mailed to your home, pick up a pledge form at church, or simply go online at https://archsa.org/aafm_giveasa.
