Bishop's Annual Stewardship Appeal - Diocese of St. Augustine

Thank you for your interest in supporting the 2026 Bishop’s Annual Stewardship Appeal!

As our Diocese continues to grow, your support of the annual appeal helps sustain more than 20 diocesan ministries and programs that strengthen families, support our clergy, and bring hope and healing to those in need. Gifts to the appeal make a meaningful difference across our diocese, especially in moments when care and compassion are needed most.

In gratitude to God, I invite you to prayerfully consider making a gift or renewing your support of this year’s appeal. Through your generosity, we can continue to serve our community together.

“Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others.” ~ St. Augustine

Become a Leader in Faith with the Crozier Society

The Crozier Society recognizes those whose generosity helps lead our diocese forward. Inspired by the crozier, the bishop’s pastoral staff, and a symbol of his call to shepherd the faithful, members of the Crozier Society partner with Bishop Pohlmeier in strengthening the mission of the local Church.

Through an annual gift of $1,000 or more, Crozier Society members provide leadership support for diocesan ministries that care for the vulnerable, support clergy, and nurture faith across our communities. We invite you to learn more about joining this distinguished group of donors and leading by example through faithful generosity.
