Christ's mission is our mission
Christ’s Mission Appeal supports essential ministries. When looking back on the past fiscal year, it seems it has gone by quickly—yet we have accomplished so much. Every week, we are doing more and serving more people within the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw. When I say “we,” it refers to all of us.

Beg! Form! Call!
My brothers and sisters in the Diocese of Saginaw, the Lord Jesus wishes to fill us with his riches! He has not stopped loving us. He has not left the Church. He continues to raise up men and women as his faithful disciples. He continues to call us to holiness. One of the riches he wishes to bestow upon us is an increase in vocations to the priesthood and the religious life.
