The Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) has a long history in the Diocese of Helena of raising funds to support various ministries promoted by the bishop. In the spring of 2009, the Diocesan Offertory Program was moved from a spring to fall timeframe, and given a new name: Annual Catholic Appeal. Our appeal for funds is conducted annually.

Glenda Seipp, diocesan Stewardship and Annual Giving Services Director, administers the program and is assisted in her efforts by both diocesan and parish support staff who follow a prescribed plan to complete the appeal.

The program provides approximately one third of the overall budget for the diocese and is a very important component to providing the resources needed to support the many activities of the Church in western and north-central Montana.
