Catholic Services Appeal
"Encountering Christ, Transforming Lives."
As we embark on the Diocesan-wide Recalibrating Maintenance to Mission initiative, it is truly fitting that the theme for the 2025/2026 Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) is "Encountering Christ, Transforming Lives."
Our parishes are being called to transform from merely maintaining operations to actively engaging in Christ’s mission to evangelize to all people. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to revitalize our parish communities, ensuring their vibrancy and sustainability in an ever-changing world. Each of us, as baptized members of the Church, plays a vital role in this transformation, contributing in countless ways, both big and small, across our Diocese.
The scope of CSA services and ministries makes giving to the Appeal as important as any donation you may make this year. Your gifts support the education of our seminarians; your future parish priests encourage religious vocations and vocations to married life, help our youth continue to grow in relationship with God, and provide parish management and fundraising support.
The total Diocesan 2025/26 CSA Goal is $2.4 million

Catholic Services Appeal Mission Statement
The Catholic Services Appeal represents our shared commitment as a community in the Diocese of Superior to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. By acknowledging the blessings we receive from God and sharing our resources generously, we ensure that crucial ministries of the Church receive the financial support they need. Empowered by the Holy Spirit and sustained by the Eucharist, we actively strive to spread the Gospel message and foster a culture of stewardship that sustains our diocesan mission and extends to the broader Church.
As stewards of the Catholic Services Appeal, we pledge ourselves to seek financial contributions and acts of philanthropy that align with Christ's call to selflessness. Through our baptismal vows, we embrace our role as disciples of Christ, entrusted with the responsibility of sharing the transformative power of His Gospel. Guided by the commandment to love God and our neighbors, we serve the Lord by addressing the needs of all people, both within our community and beyond. In doing so, we aim to make a meaningful and positive impact on the lives of those around us.
With faith in God's grace, we pray for the continued ability to steward our gifts for the advancement of His kingdom here on earth.
