Community Mission Appeal (CMA)

Episcopalians throughout the Diocese of Louisiana have been inspired to feed the hungry, revitalize neighborhoods stricken by poverty, minister to strangers and prisoners, educate children, care for senior citizens, and so much more. All of us can participate in these missions in different ways. Many of us can donate our time and effort. All of us can offer up our prayers and make a financial donation in some amount, small or large.

The Community Mission Appeal – or CMA – is the collection plate that is dedicated to taking our diocese’s mission beyond the physical walls of our churches. Through CMA, we provide donations to our parishes so that they can grow their ministries.

One hundred percent of the gifts received through CMA will go directly to churches in the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana to support the development and continuing strength of mission work. At the end of the summer each church will have an opportunity to apply for a Community Mission Appeal Grant. The grant recipients will be announced at the Annual Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana in the fall.

Thank you for your generosity.

Yours in Christ,
The Rt. Rev’d Morris K. Thompson, Jr.
Bishop of Louisiana
