Archbishop's Annual Appeal
The Archbishop's Annual Appeal plays a vital role in funding essential Archdiocesan ministries. Through the generosity of our donors, we are able to continue providing life-sustaining services to those in need—whether it's a warm meal, a bag of groceries, a safe place to sleep, or a source of guidance and support. 100% of the funds donated each year are used to support these impactful ministries. These contributions are never allocated to legal fees, settlements, or administrative costs. Every dollar makes a direct impact on the lives of those we serve.
The Archbishop's Annual Appeal, which begins each January, raises crucial funds to support the many ministries of the Archdiocese. Through the generosity of our donors, we can continue to provide life’s necessities to those in need: a warm meal, a bag of groceries, a safe place to sleep, and a source of guidance and support. Programs such as the Malta House of Care and the Vicariate Outreach Program are making a tangible difference in our communities.
Since its inception in 1997, the Vicariate Outreach Program has distributed more than $24 million to local organizations. In 2025 alone, over $1.2 million was allocated to charities across Hartford, New Haven, and Litchfield counties, directly benefiting those in need.
Other Archdiocesan ministries supported by the Appeal include:
- Tuition Assistance
- Support for Retired Clergy
- Catholic Education
- Catholic Charities
- Seminarian and Diaconate Programs
- Pastoral Ministries
Every dollar raised through the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal is used in the same year to fund these vital programs. No Appeal funds are ever used for administrative costs or legal fees. Your generosity directly impacts the lives of those we serve.
