Contributions to the annual $7.65 million Catholic Stewardship Appeal are restricted for use in four key areas of ministry: serving families, strengthening parishes, supporting schools, and forming priests and parish leaders. Each area includes many distinct and essential services that form an important part of what the Church in southeastern Wisconsin does to serve God.
Gifts to the 2012 Appeal are used solely to support these ministries and shall be kept separate from other assets of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The descriptions below detail all ministries funded in the 2012 Catholic Stewardship Appeal and, as such, serve as documentation of the 2012 Appeal’s case for support. Appeal funds shall not be expended before July 1, 2012.

The stated amount of $7.65 million for the 2012 Catholic Stewardship Appeal is the amount needed to conduct the Appeal and fund the various ministries described below. If more than that amount is raised, the excess will be used for one or more of the ministries described to provide expanded services. If less than the stated amount is raised, some ministries described below will be funded at lower levels or may have to be suspended.
Ministries supporting family life encompass spiritual formation, social and human needs common to all families and age ranges; however, ministries also address the unique needs of Catholics who come from other nations and cultures.
The primary point of contact with the Catholic Church for Catholic individuals and families is within the context of parish life. The Catholic Stewardship Appeal supports these vital and parish-specific ministries.
Our 119 Catholic elementary, middle and high schools are the Church’s primary source for sound faith formation and academic education of both Catholic children and youth, and non-Catholic students who desire schools that serve the “whole person” – spiritually, socially and academically.
The future of the Catholic Church lies in sound faith formation and leadership training for its clergy and parish leaders.
