Bishops’ Appeal 2025

Support CMN’s important pro-life ministry today.

This Easter, we write you, our brother bishop, to invite you to join us in supporting CMN’s important pro-life ministry.

CMN receives no institutional funding from the Church, so its yearly appeal to the U.S. bishops is critical to continuing its essential mission. To view the 2025 letter and list of co-signatories, please click here.

Electronic Transfer of Funds is CMN’s preferred method for receiving contributions to the 2025 Bishops’ Easter Appeal. Please complete this form, or use CMN’s bank account details.

For questions, please contact Jeff Sved, CMN Director of Development, at jeff@catholicsmobilizing.org or (301) 818-1380.
