What is DSF?The Diocesan Services Fund (DSF) is the annual appeal that provides funding for essential ministries and programs that serve the religious, spiritual and human needs of thousands of people from every parish. Catechetical programs, hospital and prison ministries, programs for the aging and youth and many more are made possible by the annual DSF. Each parish is assessed an annual amount by the Archdiocese which is to be paid by parishioners during the calendar year (January - December). Any shortfall must be covered by the parish. The annual campaign ends December 31st.
Our assessed amount for 2021 is $135,000

Update as of 9-8-21
Thanks to all who have contributed thus far in 2021. As of last weekend, we have reached our goal for the year. Unlike past years when we have needed the full year to get to our goal, this year we were blessed with an extraordinary $50,000 gift that helped us reach our goal much earlier. We cannot count on a gift like this every year, so I encourage everyone to see through with their pledges. Due to the pandemic this year, every dollar given to DSF over goal comes back to our parish, so please keep giving. Your generosity is critical for the sixty-plus ministries that depend on this funding as well as the continued flourishing of our parish.

As we look at a new DSF campaign amid our other obligations, I am going to make a bold ask. DSF for us is not just about raising a certain amount of money, although this is of course very important. This is part of our stewardship as we show not only thanksgiving to God, but justice and charity to our neighbor. My bold ask: that every single household of this parish participate in DSF 2021. If you have the means, please make a pledge and gift. If your household is hurting, then make a symbolic (but meaningful nonetheless) gift, even if that is just $1 or $5. And then the one universal way everyone, even those without means, can participate: pray for the ministries supported by the DSF as well as those who will be touched by the light of Christ through their outreach.
