Catholic Services Appeal Begins
Next weekend (May 2 and 3) marks the beginning of the Catholic Services Appeal (CSA), our annual opportunity to unite as a faith community in support of the vital ministries and programs that serve our parishes, schools, and those most in need. This year’s theme, “One Bread, One Body” draws inspiration from Pope Leo’s motto: “In the One, we are One.” We are reminded that through the Eucharist, we are one Church, throughout both the Diocese of Gaylord and the entire world. Through your generosity, the CSA provides essential funding for seminarian education, Catholic schools, diocesan services, charitable outreac,h and many other programs that bring the light of Christ to our communities. Your gift, no matter the size, makes a profound difference in the lives of those who rely on the Church’s mission. As we reflect on our blessings, let us prayerfully consider how we can respond with a spirit of gratitude and generosity. The appeal will begin arriving in your mailbox May 6th. To learn more about CSA, or to make a gift online, please visit DioceseofGaylord.org/CSA26. Thank you for your prayerful support of the Catholic Services Appeal.
