Diocesan Appeal: Frequently Asked Questions
How does the appeal support my local parish?

• The Diocesan Appeal helps pay for the work of ministries that provide invaluable support to parishes like ours but also essential ministries throughout the Diocese that serve our youth, our young adults, our families, our seminarians, and our active and retired priests. In the last four years the diocese has helped secure over $250,000 in grants that directly benefited 12 parishes.

How does the appeal support our seminarians?

• The diocese pays half the tuition, room, and board for the seminarians through the first half of their formation and full tuition, room, and board for the last half. We are blessed this year to have seven seminarians. Deacon James Beran was ordained as a transitional deacon in June and his priestly ordination is scheduled for June 6, 2025. Three of the seven are from St. James Parish and graduates from Kearney Catholic. Noah Huddleston is in his 3rd year and planning to be ordained a deacon on October 2, 2025, in Rome. Matt Masker is in seminary at graduate school level and his younger brother Jacob is in college seminary.

In Pope Francis's message for World Mission Sunday 2024, the Pope reflects on the Gospel parable of the Wedding Banquet, where the king tells his servants “Go therefore to the thoroughfares, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find”.

MENSAJE DE SU SANTIDAD EL PAPA FRANCISCO PARA LA JORNADA MUNDIAL DE LAS MISIONES 2024 – “Ve a invitar todos al banquete” (Mt 22,9)

En el mensaje del Papa Francisco para el Domingo Mundial de las Misiones 2024, el Papa reflexiona sobre la parábola evangélica del banquete de bodas, donde el rey dice a sus sirvientes: “Id, pues, a las calles e invitad a las bodas a cuantos encontréis”.

"¡Ve e invita!"La misión es una búsqueda incansable para invitar a otros al banquete del Señor. El Papa Francisco nos dice que la misión es una búsqueda incansable para invitar a otros al banquete del Señor: Su Santidad nos recuerda que la misión implica una búsqueda continua hacia todas las personas, no sólo saliendo, sino también invitando a cada uno de manera personal al encuentro Caballero. Debemos llegar hasta los confines de la tierra, con perseverancia y sin olvidar que debemos encarnar un compromiso incansable con la misión de evangelización.
