“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6: 19-21

When you make an annual gift or pledge totaling $500 or more to the Annual Catholic Appeal, you are recognized as a member of the Bishop’s Society. These leadership circles recognize and celebrate those who share the fruits of their God-given talent and abilities by investing significantly in the future of the Catholic faith community through the Annual Catholic Appeal. These heartfelt gifts make an extraordinary impact on countless lives and are gratefully recognized by Bishop William Byrne. Members are invited to one of three regional dinners where we celebrate our donors and the work they make possible. They are also remembered throughout the year in prayer by Bishop Byrne as he prays daily for the benefactors of the Diocese of Springfield.
