Let Us Move Forward with Renewed Dedication
The mission for the Diocese of Duluth envisions families, parishes, mission fields and our civic communities living together as disciples on a mission, striving to lead all people to the healing, hope and joy that we can only find in Jesus. As we journey together, we are called to support one another in growing closer to Jesus, regardless of where we are in our journey of life. This mission to bring the healing, hope and joy of Jesus to all is not only a personal commitment — it’s a collective mission that has been powerfully supported by your generous contributions to our Ministries Appeal.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support you have shown. Your generosity has enriched countless lives across the 10 counties we serve in Northeastern Minnesota. Together, we are making significant strides in making our mission real.
Your contributions to The Ministries Appeal empower us to support a wide array of initiatives and services that strengthen our mission. These efforts include supporting our seminarians, providing essential care for our priests and uplifting our deacons. The appeal is crucial in nurturing vocations and supporting our spiritual and pastoral leaders, ensuring that we continue to bring the healing, hope and joy of Jesus to all people.
Our commitment to nurturing and forming missionary disciples is vital. Through The Ministries Appeal, we support faith formation programs, young adult ministries and our Catholic schools. These programs are essential in forming our children, young adults and families to be disciples on mission, bringing the healing, hope and joy of Jesus to all. Additionally, our outreach efforts extend to diverse areas such as Native American Ministry, social outreach programs, Prison Ministry, and Hospital Ministry, allowing us to touch hearts and serve communities throughout our diocese.
Your prayers and financial support profoundly impact the lives of families, parishes, mission fields and communities. The Ministries Appeal helps us to live out the Gospel in everyday life, reaching out to those in need and ensuring the fruition of our mission. Your impact is real, and for that, I extend
my deepest gratitude.
I invite you to support The Ministries Appeal and the essential outreach efforts that transform lives. Together, we can ensure the healing, hope and joy of Jesus reach all the people who live in the Diocese of Duluth. Your support is a testament to your commitment to our shared mission, and it makes a lasting difference in the lives we touch.
Let us move forward with renewed dedication, inspired by the vision of discipleship and the profound impact of our united efforts. Together, we bring the healing, hope and joy of Jesus to all corners of our diocese, changing lives and building a brighter life for everyone we encounter.
Blessings on you and those you love and serve!
