The 2026 Annual Appeal, Rooted in Christ, Growing in Mission, is how we as a parish have the opportunity to bring about a positive change in the lives of many of God’s people throughout our Diocese. Rooted in Christ, we are called to reach outward in mission—bringing His love into every home and heart. This work is at the heart of who we are as a Church. It takes prayer, commitment, and your continued generosity to make it possible. The Appeal unites us as a faith community and invites each of us to be good stewards of the blessings we have received.

Our parish has been asked to raise $114,237, and we have received $56,438 in pledges to date…almost halfway to the Diocesan goal. We are asking everyone to be generous this year, so that we can meet and exceed that goal. This is necessary because the church roof will be replaced this summer, at a cost of $68,523. Any amount given over our goal will be refunded back to our parish to help offset the cost of the new roof. With prayerful consideration and participation from all of us, we can reach this goal. Our response to the Appeal is a meaningful way to share our blessings with others and express gratitude for all that God has given us.

If you have not yet had the opportunity to give, please consider making a gift today. You may use a pledge card available in the pews or visit www.columbuscatholicgiving.org and select St. Cecilia as your parish to make a secure pledge or donation online. No gift is too small—every contribution makes a difference. Thank you for your generosity and for helping us remain rooted in Christ and growing in mission.
