This annual appeal takes place in every parish in January, this year during Masses Jan. 20-21, 2024. The goal is to collect funds so that the Diocese can continue its mission to uphold the right-to-life of all people from conception to natural death. Since 2011, funds collected from the appeal have been split and used for three different purposes:
- Parish respect life activities: 1/3 of the funds collected at a parish will remain with the parish and are to be used for parish Respect Life activities at the pastor’s discretion.
- Diocesan educational projects: 2/3 of the funds will support the work of the Diocesan Office of Respect Life Ministries as they educate Catholics on pro-life issues and mobilize them to take action in their community.
Any donations received via on-line will stay in the Diocesan Office for Respect Life Ministries
For more information about the Gospel of Life Appeal, please contact Marina Salvador-Velázquez, Manager, Office of Respect Life Ministries at msalvador@dphx.org or by telephone at 602-354-2017.
If parishioners are unable to give to this cause during Mass, we encourage them to donate online.
