5 2014 Parish Goal Information Overall 2014 Annual Catholic Appeal Goal = $2.5 million Formula for Goal: The formula for the 2014 Annual Catholic Appeal Parish Goal is the same as the formula used for the 2011, 2012 and 2013 appeals. The goal is based on Sunday, Holyday, Easter and Christmas Offertory Collections. The Offertory Totals for each parish are added together for a grand total. The calculation is then made for each parish indicating what percentage the parish offertory is of the grand total. That percentage is then applied to the overall Annual Catholic Appeal goal Rebate Program: The rebate program will once again be available for parishes during the 2014 Annual Catholic Appeal. Parishes that went over goal in 2013 will receive a rebate equal to 80% of the funds raised in excess of the parish goal. All other parishes going over goal in 2014 will receive a rebate equal to 75% of the funds raised in excess of the parish goal. Parishes will receive rebate payments on two occasions. The first payment will reflect Annual Catholic Appeal payments made through June 30, 2014 and will be issued the second week of July The second and final rebate will be for payments received through December 31, This check will be issued in early January Parish Goals: Pastors will receive their parish goals via the Wednesday Mail to parishes by the Catholic Foundation staff. 5

14 Frequently Asked Questions About The Annual Catholic Appeal What is the Annual Catholic Appeal? The Annual Catholic Appeal is our yearly, major fundraising effort to support many of the important educational, spiritual and service ministries our Diocese offers. All Catholics throughout the Diocese are asked to support the Annual Catholic Appeal with their prayers and financial resources. Why should I contribute? As Catholics, we know in our hearts that each of us is called to support the ministries of our Church. Our gifts make it possible for our 19-county Diocese to provide vital services to the spiritual and physical well-being of men, women and children in Northwest Ohio. Our contributions are also our response to the Bible s call to stewardship to be generous with what we have received from God, who is the true owner. Is there a minimum I need to donate? There is no minimum. We are all asked to contribute as generously as we can, in relation to what God has so graciously given to us. All gifts to the ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL qualify as a tax deduction under current tax laws. Do I have pledge options? Yes, you have a variety of methods to contribute to the ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL, including: check, direct debit, credit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover), and gifts of stock. You can make your gift as a one-time gift, or in payments (8 monthly payments, 4 quarterly payments, or two semi-annual payments). For the security of your gift, please do not send cash. Can I donate online? Yes, a simple online payment mechanism is available on our Diocesan website: Click on Give at the top of the home page and you will be given step by step instructions. Does my parish receive funds from the ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL campaign? Yes, once a parish reaches its goal, 75% of any additional funds raised are rebated back to the parish. If your parish went over goal in the 2013 appeal, your parish will receive a rebate of 80% of the funds raised over goal. 14

15 Do the funds raised through the Annual Catholic Appeal support national organizations? No, our donations and pledges stay local, supporting our own Diocesan ministries How do Diocesan ministries benefit my parish? Your parish benefits chiefly from those ministries it cannot supply or effectively achieve for itself. A prime example is the recruitment and formation of priests and deacons, and their ongoing training after ordination. In the area of education, parishes operate schools and conduct religious education classes, but they receive a significant amount of educational and administrative support from the diocese. The same holds true for parish administration in general. The Annual Catholic Appeal allows the diocese to provide the assistance that parishes often need in dealing with legal, personnel and financial issues. Someone in your parish may have attended a Catholic Charities workshop on the moral and ethical dilemmas we face as we age or a Bereavement workshop. These are all made possible by the Annual Catholic Appeal. Another significant recipient of Annual Catholic Appeal funds is our vocations ministry. Our Vocations staff assists men in recognizing, understanding and responding to their call to the priesthood; and women to consecrated religious life. This year our Diocese is blessed to have 20 seminarians, and we look forward to Deacon Matthew Frisbee s ordination in Where can I find out what my pledge supports? The February issue of the Catholic Chronicle features an advertisement which details the various diocesan ministries supported by the Annual Catholic Appeal. You may also visit the Annual Catholic Appeal webpage on the diocesan website 15

16 SAMPLE PRESENTATIONS FOR COMMITMENT WEEKEND Script A: (To be delivered by the Pastor/Pastoral Leader) This weekend we begin our 2014 Annual Catholic Appeal. This year s theme is Love of God & Neighbor: A Joy that is Shared!. This diocesan-wide Appeal funds a variety of ministries, services, and agencies that assist parishes and parishioners throughout our 19-county diocese. The generosity of this parish has served as a testament to the strong faith of our people. I ask you to join me today to prayerfully consider our financial support of these essential programs and services; remember, our Faith is about helping each other no matter the need or location. Our long standing television broadcasts of Sunday Mass, our vibrant ministry to 15,000 Catholic students on college campuses, and our support of 20 seminarians are just a few of the essential ministries that depend upon this appeal. Their importance to our Church and the future of our Faith are vital; as is the success of this appeal to our continuing ability to effectively minister to God s People our families, our neighbors, our friends. Script B: (For parishes with Lay Chairpersons) Introduction (by celebrant) I have asked (Lay Chairperson(s) to speak to us today about our Faith and our 2014 Annual Catholic Appeal. I m grateful that (Lay Chairperson(s) has agreed. We are extremely confident that with (his/her) leadership, we will be successful in achieving our parish appeal goal. Please welcome Lay Chairperson(s) Good morning (evening): Thank you very much Father/Sister. When Father/Sister asked me to talk with you, I began thinking about all the people (including you and me) who benefit from our support of the Annual Catholic Appeal. Our (long standing) television broadcasts of Sunday Mass, our vibrant ministry to 15,000 Catholic students on college campuses, and our support of 20 seminarians are just a few of the essential ministries that depend upon this appeal. We the faithful are called to make a faith connection and extend the love and responsibility we feel for our parish to the well-being of our Church throughout our Diocese. Information on the ministries supported by the Annual Catholic Appeal is available from the 2014 Annual Catholic Appeal brochure. You can also learn more about them in the February issue of the Catholic Chronicle or at the Annual Catholic Appeal section of the Diocese of Toledo website 16

17 (At this point, you may want to interject some thoughts and comments about yourself, your family, etc., and how a specific diocesan ministry has affected you.) This year our parish share of the appeal goal is _. Father/Sister and I are confident that our parish will make every effort to exceed this goal. Hopefully everyone has received the appeal brochure and their letter from Father/Sister. If you have not received these materials, please pick up the brochure and pledge envelope in the back of the church (or in the pew). Please join Father/Sister and me in prayerfully considering a true sacrificial gift to the appeal to the best of our financial ability. By providing the financial resources necessary to support ministry throughout our 19 counties, we will do our part in proclaiming God s kingdom in our parish and diocese. Script C: (To be delivered by the Pastor/Pastoral Leader) This past week you have received information about our 2014 Annual Catholic Appeal. I trust that you have had a chance to consider your response to this appeal. The ministries supported by the Annual Catholic Appeal (such as our (long standing) television broadcasts of Sunday Mass, our vibrant ministry to 15,000 Catholic students on college campuses, and our support of 20 seminarians ) are very important to our mission of serving God s people. I recognize that we have many different worthy entities that need our support. I also recognize that each family will ultimately determine whom to include in their list of charitable organizations that they support. I hope that each family will recognize the importance of this appeal. When considering a gift please reflect on how generous God has been to you with His gifts. I ask that you join me in prayerfully considering a gift of sacrifice not of convenience. Our Annual Catholic Appeal funded ministries are worthy of our support and sacrifice. I m (calling on) asking every parishioner to consider the pledge plans in your brochure. Consider if one of those pledge plans matches the priority that you place on the important ministries this appeal makes possible. Although we want you to consider one of the pledge plans, I in no way expect that everyone can make the same pledge. Only you, your family and God can make that determination. I have complete faith that whatever your choice, it will represent your effort to do the best you can. At this point, I will ask everyone to take just a few minutes to make your commitment and complete a pledge envelope found in your pew. For those of you who have already made a gift, I thank you for your generosity. In a few minutes, I will ask the ushers to pick up all envelopes and pledge cards, including those that have been brought today. Thank you once again for listening today. I ask you to pray with me for the success of our Annual Catholic Appeal. 17
