Archbishop's Annual Appeal Impact Stories

“We nurture in each student a sense of uniqueness—an awareness of his/her self-worth, self-esteem, and God-given talents. Each student is seen as an integral member of the total church, school, home, and civic community. We strive to develop each child’s greatest individual potential and put God at the forefront of all we do.” 

“Little did I know God had this opportunity for me all along to do what I have felt strongly called to do: walk with others in their journey to become Catholic or return to their Catholic faith.”

“God has given every one of us the biggest gift: “The gift of Life”, His Unconditioned Love and the freedom to choose how we live our lives, by giving to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, we have the opportunity to say to God: “God, I am living and practicing what you are giving and teaching us, use me to spread your words and love to all people”.

“By giving to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, you are truly making a difference and embodying the spirit of faith and love as one family. The person who gives with a smile is the best giver because God loves a cheerful giver. Thank you for your support and generosity.”

As stewards of the gifts that He has provided, God places a need to give and that sacrificial giving can change and open us more fully to the working of God’s grace.

 “Without God’s love and grace, we cannot love and inspire others. This is my prayer.”

“When you give to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, your support helps communities like the Georgia College Campus Catholics Ministry which reaches out to students who may be struggling or alone, and give them a place and a family where they and their faith will be nurtured and able to thrive!”

“I find this scripture very reassuring, especially during the many stressful moments of college: John 14:18-31.… I will not leave you desolate.”

“Isaiah 61:1: ‘The spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners.’ This scripture reminds me of the essence of my vocation and my mission to bring hope and healing to others. ”

“The true mission of Catholic education: to lead our students away from sin and to the light that is Jesus Christ. It is such an honor to be a part of that mission.”

“We rely on the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal donations to be able to help the families and individuals we serve. You are being a faithful follower of Christ in showing such generosity to those in need, and you have my deep gratitude and prayers”
