Pastors, Parish staff members and leaders,

As we approach the halfway mark of the annual ACSA/PCT appeal process, we want to provide resources to help your parish reach your goal.  We never would have predicted the challenges we faced over the last year and of course, how it would affect all of parish life. Despite challenges, we have learned so much. We have learned a name change is not always the best idea, even in a transitional year and a one-size fits all approach doesn’t always work. We understand the need to encourage parish support at this time and we are building out resources to do so (remember, anything donated over your goal is returned to the parish).

As your partner, we want to provide the support and resources you need to be successful! While the resources are not going to solve all the challenges, we welcome feedback and ideas on how we can further support your parish.

Please use any or all of the resources below. You can freely post or edit these to fit your parish. If you would like assistance in production of the materials, please contact Katie or Bobbi in the Office of Parish Vitality and Mission Advancement at 217-321-1121 or kprice@dio.org or bozanic@dio.org.
