2015 CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL
“Be Imitators of Christ”
The 2015 Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) is underway. Many
of our parishioners have already received a mailing from the
newly established Catholic Services Appeal Foundation requesting your support of the Catholic Services Appeal. Please
respond generously.
The Appeal funds services that no one parish or individual can
support alone. These services must go on despite these troubled times in our archdiocese. It is important to know that contributions to the Catholic Services Appeal will be used for the
benefit of designated ministries of the Appeal. Please visit the
new Catholic Services Appeal Foundation website at csafspm.org for more information .
When you give to the Catholic Services Appeal you provide
food and shelter, education, spiritual support, and sacraments
to individuals who are in need, disabled, imprisoned, hospitalized, or in nursing homes. You help give nearly 2,500 students
access to a life-changing Catholic school education their families could not otherwise afford. You support seminarians preparing for the priesthood, make the annual Archdiocesan
Youth Day happen, and help fund the evangelization and catechesis initiatives. You help our 65,000 brothers and sisters at
the mission parish of Jesucristo Resucitado in Venezuela. You
help support Latino ministry for our Spanish speaking brothers
and sisters at 23 local parishes. And, when our parish reaches
its goal, 25% of all funds received will be returned for use to
support ministries in our parish.
This year, the theme of the Appeal is: “Be Imitators of Christ”.
Your gift to the Catholic Services Appeal will help to share
His message of salvation not only in our parish but throughout
our local Church and beyond. Commit to helping the CSA supported ministries. Then, please contemplate God’s gifts to you
and reflect on your gratitude for these gifts. Your financial
support for the work of our parish and vital ministries throughout this local Church is one way to express this gratitude.
Thank you.
