Catholics across the Diocese of Saint Petersburg come together through the Catholic Ministry Appeal to courageously live the Gospel. United as one diocesan family, we bring Christ’s hope, mercy, and healing to communities throughout our five counties.

Called to Be Peacemakers

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9).

The Beatitudes are not only words of comfort—they are a call to action. When Christ’s peace transforms our hearts, we are sent forth to serve others with compassion, mercy, and love.

Faith in Action Across Our Diocese

The Catholic Ministry Appeal unites all parishes in one shared mission. Through this appeal, the Diocese of Saint Petersburg is able to serve individuals and families throughout our communities.
