The Catholic Services Appeal gives us the opportunity to support more than 100 ministries and programs that transform thousands of lives across Central Texas each day. This year’s theme is Hearts filled with gratitude, and our bishop is asking us all to prayerfully consider the most generous gift possible during this challenging time.

Q. How will the Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) funds be used?
A. Funds will be used to support only those diocesan programs and ministries outlined in the case for support. No funds will be distributed to outside organizations or used for political purposes. 100% of your gift goes to these ministries and will not be used for legal fees, judgments or settlements.
Q. What is the difference between the CSA and the Encountering Christ Capital Campaign?
A. The CSA is an annual appeal that focuses on our immediate needs as a diocese and helps fund our ongoing operating expenses. The capital campaign is a long-range plan that looks to the future and goes beyond our immediate needs. We ask our donors to prayerfully consider contributing to both. It is similar to planning family finances as you need to provide for day- to-day expenses as well as long range planning such as a college education for your children or participating in a retirement plan for the future.

Give us the grace to support generously the Catholic Services Appeal so that we may, with your blessing, strengthen the Catholic Church in Central Texas. Amen.
