Each year, Shrine Church of Our Lady of Solace partners with the Diocese of Brooklyn in the Annual Catholic Appeal, which funds essential Catholic programs across Brooklyn and Queens. This initiative profoundly impacts countless individuals and families in our communities while benefiting our parish. Through the Annual Catholic Appeal, we support vital programs that no single parish could sustain on its own.
Why is your participation important?
As disciples of Jesus at Shrine Church of Our Lady of Solace, we recognize that our commitment to our parish extends to the diocese, which unites us with the broader Catholic community as one body in Christ.
When one part of the body is absent, the whole body feels the impact, making it harder to thrive. In the same way, your participation in this Appeal - beyond your regular Sunday offering - directly affects Shrine Church of Our Lady of Solace's ability to carry out Christ's mission while ensuring we receive the essential support that connects us to the larger Catholic Church.
We invite you to stand with us as a Church united in communion and charity across Brooklyn and Queens by making a pledge to the Annual Catholic Appeal today at AnnualCatholicAppeal.org or by texting DONATE to 917-336-1255.
The Annual Catholic Appeal aims to raise a minimum of $8 million to fund essential programs and ministries across the Diocese while supporting the local initiatives of parishes like ours.
At Shrine Church of Our Lady of Solace, our goal is $30,805.
Once we surpass this goal, 100% of the additional funds raised will be returned directly to our parish.
If you have any questions about the Annual Catholic Appeal or would like to schedule an appointment to make a contribution, please contact the Parish Office at (718) 266-1612.
