Catholic Services Appeal 2024
This year’s Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) theme encourages us to run the race as a community of believers with eyes fixed on Jesus, so that future generations may know Jesus Christ and share in the same confident faith with which we have been so richly blessed.
The Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) is how all the parishes in the Archdiocese contribute toward the common ministries that an individual parish could not afford on its own. In supporting the CSA, we help to provide hospital and campus ministry chaplains, the operation of Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Education and training for lay ministers, the Archdiocesan marriage tribunal, and much more.
Our parish target is $93,443.00, which is $2000 less than last year. Based on the number of parishioners who contributed to the CSA last year, WE NEED AN AVERAGE GIFT OF $250 FROM EACH CONTRIBUTOR TO REACH OUR TARGET. If you can, we ask those who can do a little more than that $250 amount to please do so as others may not be able to contribute at that level. If we fall short of our goal, the shortfall is taken from the St. Blase Budget. If we exceed our goal, 100 percent of the overage is returned to St. Blase. Please run this race and help us cross the finish line to our target goal. AND, AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND GENEROSITY!
