The Appeal 2025 – at 99% of Goal!

As members of St Brendan the Navigator, we are tasked with supporting our parish, school, and diocese. To that last item, we are a house upon a foundation — and that foundation is the Diocese of Columbus. We are so close, but ultimately stuck at 99% of our $330,000 parish goal for the 2025 Appeal. If we don’t reach goal after the pledges are paid out, our parish coffers will be assessed the difference. In support of our seminarians, Catholic social programs, evangelization efforts, and our parish, please make your contribution to The Appeal before March 31st. We would love to have one last thing to celebrate with Fr Dooley before he departs for Chillicothe!
