A SPECIAL LETTER
FROM JOHN DAVID (JD) AND FR. BOB
|
|
|
| Three cheers for doubling your impact at CSM! |
Dear Friends and Family
of
Camp Sancta Maria:
As 2018 draws to a close, our thoughts turn to the many blessings we witnessed at CSM this summer. One that comes to mind is a conversation with the mother of one of our campers after her son asked to stay for an additional week at Camp.
"We consider the cost of Camp a small price to pay for a great investment in our son's future."
The word "investment" stuck with me as she continued to speak about how much fun her son had at Camp, while also receiving great formation both spiritually and humanly as he grows into a young man.
We regularly hear things like this in connection to Camp. Why?
Much of it comes down to the fact that
CSM is a place where kids not only have fun but also learn new skills, work as a team, build friendships, encourage and support one another, and most importantly grow in their relationship with the Lord. These experiences are so important for our youth as they grow and mature into young men and women.
We write to ask you for your help by making a donation so that Camp Sancta Maria can continue its mission of helping to form young Christian lives--the lives of our children and grandchildren.
This request is very special for us in that a generous benefactor has agreed to match the contributions we receive up to $30,000! This means that your $50 gift means $100 to us and your $500 gift means $1,000 to us!
This generous offer came to us after our Year-end Annual Appeal was mailed. We are blessed by and thankful to all who have already supported us through that appeal.
Please join us in praying that CSM would be everything that God wants her to be.
If you are still discerning supporting CSM with a year-end financial gift, we would be most grateful for your support.
We thank you for all that you have done for Camp! Would you prayerfully consider being especially generous today by investing in CSM's campers through this special matching gift request? Please also let us know if you are aware of others who may be willing to
join the CSM family and help us with a financial gift.

We thank you in advance for partnering with us to change lives. If you would like to meet with one of us or one of our Board members to discuss your gift,
please
let us know. Thank you again for your support of Camp Sancta Maria! God bless you and your loved ones.
Warm regards,

We Are Grateful For Your Support of CSM!
We've said it before, but we can't say it enough. Thank you! We wouldn't be able to continue in the mission passed
down to us since our founding in 1933 of forming young Christian lives, the lives of our children and grandchildren, without your prayerful and financial support of Camp Sancta Maria. We are truly grateful you have chosen to partner with us in this most important mission.
Please help us spread the word about the wonderful ways in which our Lord is changing the lives of so many children and grandchildren at CSM.
Great things happen at CSM because of YOU! Thank you.
May you and your loved ones continue to walk in God's love during these coming weeks as we remember the gift that Jesus is for us, not only during the Advent and Christmas season but all year long.
Please keep us in your prayers, and know that you are in our prayers, as well. Thank you again, and God bless you.
Sincerely,
|

CSM is held in a trust governed by an independent Board of Trustees. While the Archdiocese of Detroit had generously donated the services of one its priests for decades, they are not responsible for CSM financially. This means that we are responsible to secure our own funding to advance the mission that has been passed down to us since our founding in 1933. To continue this essential work, we need your help. Are you feeling called to donate? Thank you for your prayerful consideration!
