Looking for representatives from parishes throughout the diocese to hang up signs and help us get our events in your parish bulletin!
If you are willing to help us by spreading the word at your parish, please email CatholicUtah@gmail.com. Our large speaking events have diocesan approval.
We need your help! Please consider making a donation to Catholic Utah in 2020! Money, Hotel Points, and an iPad are needed! Thank you!
As we work ahead to plan several speakers at a time, it is critical that we receive financial support from you so we can pay to book their flights, secure venues, pay their deposits, etc. Our ticket sales cover a portion of our expenses, but we rely on your donations so we can continue the work that we do to help educate and build community for Catholics in Utah. Consider signing up for a monthly donation! We are a 501(c)(3) and all donations are tax-deductible. Donations can be made at CatholicUtah.org/donate. We are also seeking a donation of an iPad that we could use at our events for day-of registrations. If you have an unused one sitting around, we will happily accept your donation. We are praying hard for your support and thank God for all of you!
