Each year, Bishop Joensen and Father Chinna ask each member of our parish family to prayerfully make a commitment to support the impactful work of our Diocesan programs and ministries. 
These programs provide services that no one parish could provide on its own. 

As members of the larger Diocese, we are committed to advancing this sacred mission together.  Our parish goal is $302,728 with 100% participation. If every parishioner prayerfully commits a minimum of $150, our goal will be met! Additionally, any funds raised above our goal will remain here at St. Boniface.
