The generous spirit of the diocesan faithful continues to manifest itself in many ways, locally, nationally and internationally.

In addition to the regular weekly offerings that support the parishes of the diocese, contributions on the part of local Catholics toward those in need often top those of much larger archdioceses and dioceses.

The diocese contributed more than $1.8 million for relief efforts following Hurricane Katrina in August. The figure included more than $43,000 collected by diocesan schools."
