The Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) for 2025 is upon us, and while it’s not until next weekend that we will be asked to generously support the ministries of our Archdiocese, Archbishop Hebda has chosen to continue the theme Giving is Faith in Action. It is indeed such a great reminder of what our Lord has done and calls us to do.
The goal of the archdiocese this year is to raise $9 million. Your CSA gift will make an impact in the following areas:
- Educate in Faith
An essential component of the Church’s ministry is the education of the next generation of disciples, as well as the continuing formation of all its members.
- K-8 student scholarships and school support
- College outreach programs
- Room and board for seminarians
- Help Those in Need
The Church is called to make the love of Jesus tangible in the world today, especially to the poor, the vulnerable and those on the peripheries.
- Meals and short-term housing support for the homeless
- Food and clothing for those in crisis
- Hospital ministry
- Prison chaplains
- Venezuelan Mission support
- Faith Formation
At the heart of the Church’s ministry is facilitating for its members an encounter with the person of Jesus Christ. Central to what it means to be Catholic is the development of a friendship with Jesus through prayer and reflection.
- Youth and young adult parish leader training
- Adult small group ministry resources
- Multi-cultural parish support
- American Sign Language interpreters and pastoral outreach
- Respect for Life
Knowing that every human person has God-given dignity.
- Unexpected pregnancy support
- Respect of life in all stages
The way the Lord gave of Himself for us is a great reminder that we are united as one Church; that when we come together and support our ministries, we can do so much good. We earnestly encourage your support of this appeal and ask that you prayerfully give generously to the CSA.
Your support and generosity is highly appreciated.
