What is Mission Advancement?

The needs and challenges across one of the fastest-growing dioceses in the country are vast. Not all parishes, schools, ministries, and programs are able to fund their mission from their immediate circle of parishioners and supporters.

OMA advances the mission of the church by connecting the generous people of the archdiocese to projects and programs outside of their main parish providing many opportunities to put their faith into action and serve one another in Christ.

The Annual Appeal only covers a portion of the different ministry's needs. Each ministry must still fundraise for their additional program or project needs. Your donation to the Mission Advancement Fund can directly help ministries with additional program and project funding needs extending their reach in parishes, the archdiocese, and our community. You can help today. Every donation matters!
