Ways to Give

Your generosity sustains the Mass, the sacraments, and the ministries that serve our community. However you choose to give, thank you.

Current appeal

Sowing Seeds of Faith

Sowing Seeds of Faith is the Diocese of San José's campaign for spiritual renewal — strengthening faith formation, vocations, and parish life, and caring for our retired priests. In 2026 it also carries the ministries once supported by the Annual Diocesan Appeal. Your gift sows seeds for the future of our faith. Give securely through our campaign page.
