This May, we are raising funds for the annual Catholic Services Appeal (CSA). Your support makes a difference for important ministries in the diocese and beyond. Thanks to generous support of CSA, thousands of families in our parishes, Catholic schools, and ministries are supported each year. Our parish is asked to support the CSA to help provide for these diocesan programs that no single parish could sustain on its own. The CSA effort is a means by which we work together to care for the Church by sharing the gifts God has given to us.   Please make a gift today to support this important mission. Learn more and give online at http://DioceseofGaylord.org/24CSA.
