Through this 2026 National Appeal, we continue the work of building the Kingdom of God right here in our own country and within our own Diocese. Along with choosing to support retired religious, The Catholic University of America, and the Catholic Communication Campaign, funding from the 2026 National Appeal is also distributed to our Catholic schools throughout the Diocese of Rockford. The appeal also supports the Rockford Diocesan Priests’ Pension. Thank you for your generous support!

Note:  Online giving for the National Appeal only offers the “Bishop, please distribute my gift according to need” option at this time, however, you can specify your donation to a specific designation by typing in your appeal designation preference in the special instructions field.

Yes! I want to support the 2026 National Appeal.
