More than half of the funds raised last year during the Diocesan Lenten Appeal were returned directly to our parishes. When you make your gift to the 2026 Diocesan Lenten Appeal, 75 Years: Our Foundation, Our Future, you help your parish address its most pressing needs, helping to honor the past while preparing for the future God calls us to build.

Follow Bishop Larry J. Kulick throughout Lent with his special podcast, Desert Diaries.

If you hear the word “desert” and think of emptiness, struggles or something you’d rather avoid, you’re not alone. But in Scripture, the desert isn’t a place God abandons people – it’s often where he meets them most deeply. As we continue our journey through Lent, Bishop Kulick explores how Jesus’ time in the desert can help us understand our own struggles and questions, and the places in our lives that God is asking us to grow and intentionally change the way we walk toward Easter.

You can watch or listen to Desert Diaries at theaccentonline.org or download from where you download your podcasts.
