Your gift to the Catholic Services Appeal makes a difference in countless lives throughout the Archdiocese of Detroit and beyond. The more than 170 ministries, programs, and services funded by the CSA provide the energy for our Lord’s grace and blessings on our parishes, institutions, parishioners, and others every day.
Be assured that no CSA dollars have ever been — or ever will be — used to settle claims of any nature against the Archdiocese, or to support projects outside of the Archdiocese, other than six specific national collections of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The archdiocesan lay Finance Council oversees the distribution of CSA funds to ensure all reach the ministries, programs, and services for which they are intended.
The CSA 2021 Target is $17,467,779.
Below are some links that show how your CSA gifts did so much for so many last year.
During Fiscal Year 2019-20 and for the CSA2020 fund year (that crosses over two Fiscal Years - FY 2019-20 and FY 2020-21).
