Don't Miss This Opportunity to Strengthen Your Ministry!
Dear Friends,
 
This is your invitation and reminder to register your Catholic parish, school, or non-profit organization next month on August 15.

The Archdiocese of New Orleans is once again participating in #iGiveCatholic giving day on Tuesday, November 29, 2022!

Increase awareness, gain followers, and raise money for your ministry! Last year, the Catholic community came together and successfully raised over $2.3 MILLION for 169 ministries within the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

What is iGiveCatholic?
Celebrated annually on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, #iGiveCatholic is the first-ever national online giving day that celebrates our unique Catholic heritage and inspires faithful stewards to "Give Catholic" on #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving.
 
Founded by the Catholic Community Foundation of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, the giving day kicks off the charitable season and brings our community together to give thanks and give back to the organizations that shape our souls: our parishes, schools, and nonprofit organizations.

This year, the Archdiocese of New Orleans leads the country by hosting its eighth #iGiveCatholic!
