The Catholic Home Missions Appeal will take place in parishes across the Diocese of Trenton at all Masses on the weekend of April 24-25.

Every year, parishes across the United States take up the Catholic Home Missions Appeal. Because of those generous donations, this year the Appeal will fund over $9 million in grants to nearly 80 dioceses.

Home mission dioceses are located all across the United States, including the Deep South, Appalachia, and the Rocky Mountains. These dioceses lack the resources to provide their faithful with basic pastoral care, including the sacraments, religious education, and ministry training.
