The 2024 Bishop’s Annual Appeal (BAA) is underway! Our parish assessment this year is $311,097. Please be generous as we serve our communities, educate the next generation, proclaim the Gospel, and spread hope and love!!
The Bishop’s Annual Appeal is a yearly effort that enables the Diocese of Raleigh to fund a variety of vital programs and ministries throughout eastern NC. The BAA is an opportunity to make a difference in and beyond an individual parish.
