Seminarian Education and Vocations Support
Our future as a Church depends upon our support for religious vocations in and from each of our parishes. Our diocese presently has 9 seminarians with hope for more. Each parish should assist in this effort by forming a Vocations Committee.
Maryhill Renewal Center
Our diocesan retreat center continues to welcome gatherings of parish and diocesan groups from seniors to young people, offering a beautiful place for reflection, prayer and spiritual growth. Your contributions help to care for and improve this setting and ministry.
Youth, Young Adult,
Campus and Hispanic Ministries
Our Diocese offers support to ministries that extend beyond parish boundaries through our annual Steubenville South conference, junior high conference, marriage preparation programs, and our ministry on university campuses and in Spanish speaking communities.
Support for our Retired and Infirm Priests
Your contributions support our priests by providing health care benefits and, after years of faithful service, by providing financial support in their retirement years.
Faith Formation
Our Diocese offers training sessions for liturgical ministries, retreat experiences, support and resources for parish directors of religious education, continuing education for clergy, and other opportunities to grow as disciples.
Your gift be used solely for the restricted priorities of the 2026 Annual Diocesan Appeal and for no other purpose.
