The theme of this year’s Catholic Services Appeal is Opening Doors to Encounter Christ.
As this theme suggests, Jesus encourages us to examine our lives and reflect on how each of us may enter into a deeper relationship with Him, and how we may open doors so that others may have a personal encounter with Him. When we support the CSA, we support a multitude of ministries, programs, and services that do precisely this - we open doors to Jesus. As members of the Archdiocese of Detroit, we have an opportunity and responsibility to keep our local Church vibrant and service oriented. Our response is to graciously accept this 2017 challenge to meet our parish goal of $73,681.
Each year, by sharing the blessings God has given us, countless people can enjoy the fruits of the work of the Central Services departments of Communications, Development and Stewardship, Evangelization, Catechesis and Schools, and Parish Life and Services. The CSA also helps to support Sacred Heart Major Seminary and the Metropolitan Tribunal. When we make our annual pledge to the CSA, we join with all of our sisters and brothers in Christ throughout the Archdiocese of Detroit to do the work that no one individual can do.
MANY THANKS to those who have already responded with a gift or a pledge! As you can see, we are already off to a good start! Your timely reply will greatly assist our volunteers who are working on the campaign and follow-up. Thank you for the many ways you serve one another as Bold, Holy, and Catholic people of God!
GOAL: $73,681
PLEDGED: $36,060
