  • ​Given the physical, emotional and spiritual challenges of the past year, hope is the focus of the 2021 Bishop's Services Appeal.  We naturally long for hope in times of difficulty and struggle, and we seek healing and restoration when burdened and hurting.  And so, as caring Catholics, we understand the needs others express, and we welcome God's call to be His hands and feet, Bringing Hope and Healing to our families, our fellow Catholics, and all those who are hurting.  Our God is a God of hope.  Follow Him and heal our world.  Give to the 2021 BSA by visiting www.diolaf.org or texting DIOCESE to 41444.
