This year, Progress turns 35! Established in 1983, Progress, the Bishop’s Ministry Appeal, is an annual diocesan fundraising campaign to support the day-to-day operations of ministries and services within our diocese.

This year’s campaign is Proud to be Catholic _ . _ Show your Catholic Pride by joining us for dinner and a celebration of our Catholic faith at the Bishop’s Appeal Kickoff on Wednesday, January 17 at St. Raphael Parish at 6:30 p.m. RSVP to Progress Director Amy McQuillen at 915.872.8412 or amcquillen@elpasodiocese.org.

Donations and gifts raised through the Progress Appeal represent 40% of all operating funds supporting the pastoral, spiritual, educational and human service programs that benefit thousands of individuals throughout the 10 counties of the Diocese of El Paso. The Diocese also advances the work of every parish with direct financial assistance such as grants and support services.

The vital work of the Church is made possible by the Bishop’s Appeal and your generosity. We invite you to participate in the Progress Appeal both through a commitment to prayer and a Progress gift.
