One Bread, One Body, united as a diocese through the Catholic Services Appeal (CSA).

Thank you to all who have already made a gift! If you have not yet had the chance to give, it’s not too late!  This year, our parish goals are:

$14,259 for St. Clement,

$27,605 for Sacred Heart, &

$103,003 for St. Mary / St. Charles.

Every dollar we raise over our goal is returned to our parishes to help with the office roof at SC, the outdoor stone work at SH, and the bell tower project at SMSC.

To learn more about the CSA, or to make a gift online, please visit DioceseofGaylord.org/CSA26.
