2024 Annual Catholic Appeal
This week begins the 2024 Annual Catholic Appeal. We encourage all to watch the brief 2024 ACA Video embedded below online at: www.CFBQ.org/ACAVideo.
The work and services made possible through your donation to the Annual Catholic Appeal help people in Brooklyn and Queens in ways that no one parish can alone.
Let us pray that the 2024 Annual Catholic Appeal will be successful in both allowing us to reach out in love to those in need, as well as allowing our hearts to be United in Communion, United in Charity.
