As we embark on the Diocesan-wide Recalibrating Maintenance to Mission initiative, it is truly fitting that the theme for the 2024/2025 Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) is "United in the Eucharist: Empowered for Mission."

Our parishes are being called to transform from merely maintaining operations to actively engaging in Christ’s mission to evangelize to all people. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to revitalize our parish communities, ensuring their vibrancy and sustainability in an ever-changing world. As baptized members of the Church, each of us plays a vital role in this transformation, contributing in countless ways, both big and small, across our Diocese.

The scope of CSA services and ministries makes giving to the Appeal as important as any donation you may make this year. Your gifts support the education of our seminarians; your future parish priests encourage religious vocations and vocations to married life, help our youth continue to grow in relationship with God, and provide parish management and fundraising support.

The total Diocesan CSA Goal is $2.35 million
