Transforming Lives Across Long Island
Each year, the Catholic Ministries Appeal serves more than 600,000 people on Long Island. 100% of every dollar raised goes directly to support the vital ministries of the Appeal. More than just a donation, it is an act of love, a response to Jesus’ call to care for our brothers and sisters. Through your generosity, God’s mercy reaches into homes, hearts, and communities across Long Island, bringing hope, healing, and support to those who need it most.
