The Lumen Cordium Society (Light of Hearts) is the giving society for the Annual Catholic Appeal. Established in 1996, the Society celebrates those who believe in the mission of the Church and choose to give resources that will have a lasting impact.

Catholic women and men who choose to become part of the Lumen Cordium Society set an example of good stewardship as they positively impact people and ministries in need of assistance. Their gifts serve as testimonies to their belief in the Church’s vision and mission to build a vital, vibrant and life-giving community of faith.

The Society’s purpose is to establish a legacy of strengthening the faith and spiritual future of new generations of Jesus’ disciples. Society members have made significant gifts totaling over $141 million dollars to the Annual Catholic Appeal.

The Annual Catholic Appeal is an invitation for every Catholic family to respond with a generous heart. Your gift will provide inspiration, education and services to the less fortunate in our Archdiocese and throughout the world.
