Catholic Services AppealList Item 1
No parish could exist on its own without the annual Catholic Services Appeal (CSA). It is a "united parish" campaign that funds more than 30 vital programs, services, and ministries throughout our 16-county Diocese. As wide-ranging as they are, they have one thing in common. They touch each one of us! The Appeal crosses parish boundaries, uniting us through a common thread in Education, Service, Worship, Prayer, Social Concern, Charity, and much more.
CSA envelopes are available at your parish. If you would like to receive CSA envelopes directly from the Diocese of Superior, please contact the parish office.
