DOW-R General Fund

The Diocese of Winona-Rochester serves more than 115,000 Catholics across 20 counties in southern Minnesota, forming disciples, strengthening families, and supporting vibrant parish life. Under the leadership of Bishop Robert Barron, the diocese is committed to evangelization, faith formation, Catholic education, and outreach to those in need. Through 107 parishes, 16 Catholic schools, and numerous ministries, the diocese proclaims the Gospel, accompanies individuals and families, and provides essential pastoral, educational, and charitable services.

Gifts to the Diocese’s General Fund provide vital unrestricted support that allows us to meet our most urgent and emerging needs. This flexible fund empowers the diocese to address priorities such as new vestments for liturgical celebrations, upgraded computers and software, completion of the diocesan archives room, support for our seminarians, and resources for unexpected or special circumstances. Your generosity to the General Fund strengthens the mission of the diocese where it is needed most and directly impacts the people we serve.
