Giving/Development Bishop's Annual Lenten Appeal   The Lenten Appeal is an annual drive to support the many ministries and programs of the Diocese of Harrisburg. The Lenten Appeal helps us to realize who God calls us to be as sisters and brothers that belong to one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. We are people of many races, many backgrounds and many nationalities. Yet we are one. The Lenten Appeal provides a bridge across our parish boundaries, across our cultural boundaries and even across our national boundaries. Each parish operating on its own can only do so much. But when parishes join together, linking all of the people of our diocese together, we can realize our unlimited potential. Then, we can become God’s instrument of mercy and love. This Lenten Appeal gives us that opportunity.   Catholic Life and Evangelization Liturgy, Worship & Prayer  Ministry Development  Marriage & Family  Special Ministries Youth and Young Adults                  Catholic Charities Adoption & Foster Care Interfaith Shelter for Homeless Families  Counseling Services  Lourdeshouse Maternity Program  York Intensive Family Services (IFS) Office of the Vicar General/Moderator of the Curia  Ecumenical and Inter-religious Affairs Respect Life Stewardship    Communications Currents television  Catholic Perspective radio programs  Public Relations The Catholic Witness  The Tribunal  Divorce and Remarriage in the Catholic Church  Education Catechetical Training  Religious Education  Adult Religious Education  Catholic Schools  Clergy and Religious  Vocations Archives History & Archives  One pledge helps to create so much good, touch many souls and renew countless lives.
