Church of The Good Shepherd, Pittsburg

One Flock, One Family, Living and Sharing the Love of Christ


SUPPORTING OUR WORK We are fortunate to be able to do so much for so many people in our Diocese. No one person, parish, or organization alone can do the work that all of us can do together. Giving is simple and secure.
The word “Catholic” means “universal,” and our faith cares for all our sisters and brothers regardless of the parish in which they worship. One should give to the Appeal because there are certain ministries and services that cannot be provided by a parish but only by a diocese. With your support, the diocese recruits, educates and forms seminarians, pays a pension and needed medical care for our retired clergy, supports a diaconate program and ethnic minorities. The diocese also supports schools and other parishes facing financial distress or an unexpected emergency. Some people may say that as long as we support our parish, we should not be concerned with the needs of other parishes, schools, recruitment, education and formation of our future clergy, and forming our youth and young adults in our faith beyond our own parish. Through the Bishop’s Ministries Appeal, the diocese is able to carry out these ministries and services which is only possible through the generosity of our parishioners.
LIVING THE FAITH THROUGH OUR MINISTRIES The Diocese of Oakland offers a number of ministries, in mulitple languages, that provide support to its parishes, schools, and our large, diverse Catholic community. Diocesan-wide ministries, programs, services, and events in some way reach every Catholic who attends a liturgy, receives sacraments and otherwise participates in the local church and parish life.
ANSWER THE CALL TO GIVE The Bishop's Ministries Appeal helps us extend Christ's love to those seeking comfort, guidance, and support. Through more than 70 vital programs that serve as beacons of hope in communities across the diocese, our ministries provide essential assistance and spiritual nourishment to all who seek it.
