The Fruitful Harvest campaign is our biennial stewardship fundraiser for the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana. With approximately 35,000 Catholic families in 62 parishes across the Diocese. As Bishop Doherty has said in his letter, "...your sacrificial financial support makes possible the many ministries, services and pastoral programs which help build God’s kingdom. We walk with Christ by strengthening our faith through marriage preparation programs,professional development workshops for our educators, and adult faith formation programs such as the Ecclesial Lay Ministry. School and catechetical ministries enliven participation in the Sacraments. We make available to priests the opportunities they need for healthy living, skill-building and support in retirement."

The Diocesan goal for Fruitful Harvest 2018 is $9.2 million. Each parish has been assigned a share of that goal based on a formula, which takes into account both the parish population and offertory income. EVERY gift, regardless of size, is vital to our success. As soon as a parish reaches its assigned goal in paid pledges, a 10 percent rebate is paid. In addition, most parishes receive 50 percent of all funds received in excess of their goal.  The following are some statistics of the programs that are supported by Fruitful Harvest.
