What is Together We Serve?
Together We Serve is the annual Archdiocese appeal to support our charitable partners.
“One way we can act on our mission as a community of believers is by supporting Together We Serve, our annual outreach of charity to many who need our help.

Your gifts through “Together We Serve” enable us to make a greater difference as a family than we ever could as individuals.”
