Steve Lewis is an energe c young Catholic evangelist, who uses social media to connect to young lives, reaching out person-to-person via his YouTube Channel, Steve the Missionary.

Bishop Michael C. Barber has chosen Rebuild My Church as the theme for the 2019 Bishop’s Appeal
By sharing your me, talent and treasure with our sisters and brothers and our Church of the East Bay, you are mak-ing a sacrifice and returning to God a small por on of the many gi s he has given to you. By embracing Rebuild My Church through the 2019 Bishop’s Appeal, you are contribu ng greatly to building up the Kingdom of God here in the Church of the East Bay.
For most of us, our experience of Church is at our parish. The Church is, however, much more than that. We are all called in mission to serve the Church and its people through our parish, our diocese and universally.
The Annual Bishop’s Appeal in the Diocese of Oakland is but one way to serve our fellow parishioners and the broader community as we demonstrate our unity as Catholics of the Diocese of Oakland. We are asked to pray for our fellow parishioners, our clergy and leadership, for those who are served by the many ministries and programs offered by the Church, and for the success of the 2019 Bishop’s Appeal.
Every member of the faith community of our local Church is also asked to par cipate in whatever way possible by mak-ing a gi . All gi s to the 2019 Bishop’s Appeal are equally important. As responsible stewards of our faith and the many gi s that God has generously bestowed on each of us, we are asked to make a sacrificial, propor onate and though ul gi . Those who are blessed with more are challenged to give more, but everyone is asked to respond. Im-agine what can be done in the name of our local faith community if every parishioner were inspired by Rebuild My Church and par cipated in our annual Bishop’s Appeal.
While parishes rely on the financial support of parishioners through weekly offertory collec ons, the diocese also relies on these same parishioners to make possible the many services it provides to thousands of individuals each year. The Bishop’s Appeal supplies annual funding to many ministries which provide services throughout the Diocese of Oakland.
Your Generosity in Ac on The Bishop’s Appeal provides funds to offset some of the following expenses:
• Parishes and Schools in Need • Pastoral Ministries and Services
• Clergy Forma on and Re rement • Religious Educa on and Forma on
During the 2018 Bishop’s Appeal, St. Monica Church surpassed it’s goal of $35,700.00 and contributed $90,470.00! This means $54,770 comes back to us
and will help meet our parish needs!
Collec ons for the 2019 Bishop’s Appeal will begin shortly. It is my hope, and I’m sure yours too, to meet our goal as soon as possible.
