God's Share Appeal

Please support the 53rd Annual God's Share Appeal.

The God's Share Appeal is not just another Sunday collection. It is a unified effort in which all Catholics of the Diocese of Bismarck join together to further the mission and ministry of the Catholic Church in western North Dakota. It is an opportunity to voluntarily support the work of the larger Church by returning a portion of what God has given to us through a pledge to the God's Share Appeal.

Christian stewards recognize Christ as the giver of all our many gifts. We are grateful for these many gifts and are eager to give back and return some of these gifts in appreciation to show our love for Christ and one another. All of us share as Christ's disciples in the mission of the Diocese of Bismarck. Only together, can we accomplish God's work.

Please take the time to prayerfully consider what you are able to give in support of Bishop Zipfel's ministry and experience the joy that comes with giving out of love for God.
