Donations

Since 1988, the Diocese of Lexington has been serving over 75,000 Catholics throughout Central and Eastern Kentucky via the 59 parishes and missions that fall within our area.  Guided by the Holy Spirit, we witness to Christ’s saving love as disciples and missionaries in the 50 counties of our Diocese.  This important mission work could not be done without the support of donors and we thank you for considering making a gift today.  
 
Annual Appeal

• The Diocesan Annual Appeal is a visible expression of our unity as the Body of Christ and provides vital support for parishes, missions of parishes, Catholic schools, outreach ministries and diocesan-wide programming.

• The Office of Youth, Young Adult and Campus Ministry is committed to assisting parishes in the development of youth ministry through professional development for those ministering to youth as well as for the direct ministry events that our young people participate in.  Funding supports ongoing training, formation and events to help our young Catholics to live out their faith as they grow in the world.

• There are many needs amongst the Diocese of Lexington’s aging campuses that include annual upkeep, renovation, expansion and care.  Funding helps to defer the great cost of caring for our facilities.  

• Supporting the fund for Vocations provides important aid to seminarians who are studying for the priesthood, ongoing training and expenses for the continued growth of our priests, and for their enduring care in retirement.

• Providing funds for refugee and migrant communities allows the Diocese of Lexington to engage the large multi-cultural populations in our area.  This fund serves these growing communities with bilingual pastors and printed information; basic life necessities for those who have relocated to our area; and engagement to local services that could include counseling and legal advice.

• You can provide a lasting legacy to the Diocese of Lexington by including us in your estate planning by simply putting us in your will or you could choose another avenue such as charitable gift annuities, gifts of securities, IRA charitable rollover or gifts of property.  If you are interested in any of these avenues, please contact Bobbi Silver in the Development Office at the Diocese of Lexington at (859) 253-1993 x271 or bsilver@cdlex.org.
