This weekend is our
annual diocesan Catholic Services Appeal. The Catholic Services Appeal gives us the opportunity to act together as a diocesan family: helping those in need, promoting a culture of life, encouraging religious vocation, and educating our youth. The Diocese of Austin has released a wonderful video about CSA this year. Click here to watch it online. (You might recognize Bishop Danny's location!)
Every gift, regardless of the size, is vital to the success of the Catholic Services Appeal. Our goal this year is to have 100% participation. Please give in accordance with your means, and remember, a prayer is a pledge of support!
You may bring the pledge card you received in the mail with you to mass or complete a new pledge card during the time provided for this at mass.
