Catholic Services Appeal
November 8th is Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) Sunday at St. Mary’s. On this day we will have 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. Our annual appeal allows us to care for active and retired priests, help those in need, promote a culture of life, encourage vocations and educate our youth. As we respond to the pandemic and its continuing effect on society and our beloved church, the ministries and programs that the CSA funds are more essential than ever before. Our goal is 100% participation because every gift, large or small, is vital to the success of the Catholic Services Appeal. Learn more about the CSA at austindiocese.org/csa.
