This diocesan appeal video, themed “The Lord Is With Us,” was created for the Diocese of Rockford as part of its annual campaign. Narrated by the bishop, the piece combines inspiring visuals and ministry highlights to encourage parishioner support. It features vibrant footage from the diocesan Youth Rally, as well as time-lapse and drone shots that capture the energy and scope of the Church’s work. Additional segments focus on marriage preparation seminars that strengthen Catholic families, and outreach ministries such as feeding the poor during a community Thanksgiving meal. The video brings together faith, service, and community life to inspire generosity and participation in the appeal.
