As the year comes to a close, many faithful supporters are choosing new and impactful ways to give. There are a variety of ways to support our parishes, schools, seminarians, retired priests, and community programs that bring Christ’s love to those in need.
A gift of appreciated stock, a donor-advised gift, or a direct payment from your IRA or retirement account can offer meaningful tax advantages while strengthening the ministries you care about most. Stock or online gifts must be received by December 31 to qualify for 2025 tax advantages.
Your generosity can also take the form of time and talent, volunteering in parish ministries, offering leadership, sharing stories of mission and ministry on social media, or inviting someone to join you at Mass this Christmas.
Whether your gift is one of treasure or time, is planned or immediate, you help our Church thrive today and for generations to come.

A little bit of a longer reading, but taking a photo that reminds you of Noah's Ark shouldn't be hard, right, AOB friends?

Thank you for joining us on Giving Tuesday and supporting the mission we all share.

Because of you, over 100 ministries across the Archdiocese of Baltimore will continue serving families, enriching the faithful, and caring for those most in need. Your generosity truly made a difference, as you and many others sharing your generous spirit worked together to raise nearly
$70,000
on Giving Tuesday.

If you would like to stay connected beyond Giving Tuesday, there are many ways to serve: volunteering at your parish, offering your expertise on leadership councils, sharing posts on social media, and/or simply inviting a neighbor to join you for Mass this Christmas. Please know that your presence and participation strengthen the fabric of our Church.

If you haven’t yet had a chance to support the ministries of the Annual Appeal, we invite you to make your gift today

Thank you for sharing your time, talent and treasure with our community of faith.

This is a tough one - can you take a photo of something from your daily life that reminds you of The Fall? Leave it for us in the comments or use #AOBJesseTree…and then maybe consider coming to the Sacrament of Reconciliation this week.
