A gift to the Diocesan Annual Campaign supports the ministries of the Diocese of Harrisburg to meet the social services and
ministerial needs of the people in our 15 counties.
As 2023 winds down, there is still some distance left to achieve our Diocesan Annual Campaign goal. At the close of November 30th, St. Joan of Arc Parish DAC had reached $210,917 in donations with another $37,836.83 to be earmarked from our Focus Endowment. Our parish goal/ assessment is $281,490.
The beneficiaries of DAC funding:
8% of the DAC covers administration. It includes central functions such as payroll processing, benefit management, IT service/ support, capital planning & approval, and banking services for 89 parishes and 35 schools across 15 counties. The centralized management equates to a tremendous savings for the local parishes.
The remaining 92% of the DAC is allocated to programs as follows:
· DAC provides 8% of all Catholic Charities program funding which directly impacts the local community with critical programs for the needy.
· 23% of the DAC receipts fund Youth programs, Multicultural ministries, College campus ministries, respect life, and communications.
· 19% is allocated to the Youth Protection Program, continuing education, and formation for clergy and religious, parish records, and Tribunal support.
· 15% supports religious education programs in the parish & diocesan schools as well as scouting.
· 15% funds the retirement center, supplemental medical coverage, and the Bishop’s office.
· The remaining 12% funds the critical function of vocations and formation of our young men as seminarians, deacons, and priests.
