Bishop's Annual Appeal or BAA:

Your gift to the BAA makes a difference right here at St. Margaret's. There are some who ask why they should give to the BAA when they already support our parish and see the many wonderful things going in here at St. Margaret's.  You may not realize that many of these wonderful things result, in part, from BAA supported agencies that coordinate, train and provide services to us. Faith Formation classes, the Permanent Diaconate, Family life...all these have an impact on our parish.

BAA ministries also reach beyond the boundaries of St. Margaret's. Many BAA ministries provide services that are well beyond the scope of a single parish. In combining resources, they are able to minister to the diversity ethnic populations in the diocese, provide much needed spiritual support on our college campuses and assist with services for seniors, low income families and individuals.

Your BAA contributions will help make the education of our 27 seminarians possible. We are blessed with the presence of these dedicated young men who will one-day serve the people of our diocese as priest.

Please make a pledge to the Bishop's Annual Appeal. As good stewards, we have a responsibility to look beyond our own parish needs to the larger church. your gift to the BAA might just change the life of someone who desperately needs your help.
