PASTORAL MINISTRIES & SERVICES
Diocesan pastoral ministries and services focus on strengthening our faith, our families, and building up our parish communities by engaging our people in the daily life of the Church as they strive to live as faithful disciples of Christ.
|
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION & FORMATION
Gifts to the appeal help support religious education and formation programs for thousands of youths and adults annually.
|
CLERGY FORMATION & SUPPORT
From initial formation into retirement, the diocese provides support for our priests. Additionally, continued updating and renewal for priests and deacons who faithfully serve our people is supported by your gift to the Bishop’s Appeal.
|
SUPPORT FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS & PARISHES IN NEED
Each year, the diocese provides subsidies and grants to assist with operating expenses at our inner-city Catholic schools and for parishes and faith communities that are facing extraordinary and immediate financial challenges.
ASSISTING LOCAL PARISHES
Every parish has its own needs and plans for growth and new ministries to better serve its parishioners and the local community. The Bishop’s Ministries Appeal will again return 100% of all monies collected over each parish’s goal for use at the parish level. |

Loving and merciful God, we are your family, brothers and sisters entrusted with the mission of your Church in the Diocese of Oakland.
Thank you for the precious gift of Your Most Holy Eucharist. Thank you for transforming us by it, and for filling us with your Divine Love so we can help bring Your Presence to our families, friends, neighborhoods, and the world. May our Blessed Mother, Queen of the World and patroness of our Diocese, lead us to You and walk with us in our challenges and struggles. May our work, through the Bishop’s Ministries Appeal, bring You joy and bring Your gentle mercy and care to all we serve. |
