Mission Advancement

Our Purpose:
The Mission Advancement Office (MAO) supports parishes, schools, campus ministries and agencies by educating and encouraging parishioners to use their gifts to fulfill the spiritual mission of, and provide a solid financial foundation for, a stronger and more vibrant Church of today and for future generations.

The Annual Catholic Appeal is the primary fundraising initiative across our 19-county Diocese of Toledo, uniting every parish in supporting the work of the Church beyond the walls of our own parish. Through the ACA, lives are touched through Catholic education, charitable outreach, spiritual formation, pastoral ministry, parish assistance, and many other essential programs that serve people at every stage of life.

The Donor Bill of Rights, developed by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) ensures donors have confidence in nonprofits. It outlines ten key rights, including transparency regarding donations, privacy of information, access to financial records, and the right to be informed of the organization's mission and board.
