On the weekend of May 4/5, we will begin our new Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) for 2024. The Catholic Services Appeal is an annual campaign that raises funds for the Archdiocese of Detroit ministries, programs, and services that benefit all the faithful in southeast Michigan. Our parish also benefits from these services and monetary funds.
We have a page that will help you set up your giving at the link below:

Below you will find some FAQs:
What is the Catholic Services Appeal?
The Catholic Services Appeal is an annual campaign that raises funds for the Archdiocese of Detroit ministries, programs, and services that benefit all the faithful in southeast Michigan. This archdiocesan-wide campaign communicates that the local Church extends beyond the parish.
The CSA is an opportunity for the faithful to respond to Christ’s command “to love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12) by helping to fund services throughout the broader area of southeast Michigan. This collaborative, archdiocesan campaign is a way to demonstrate the unity of the larger Church and to fund these vital programs.
What does CSA fund?
The Catholic Services Appeal benefits parishes and people in the Archdiocese of Detroit by helping to fund more than 170 ministries, programs, and services, including: support for men discerning God’s call to the priesthood at Sacred Heart Major Seminary; campus ministry; grants to Catholic schools; and young adult programs. Essentially, CSA dollars help fund the spiritual and corporal works of mercy in the greater Detroit area.
Who oversees and distributes CSA funds?
The archdiocesan lay Finance Council oversees the distribution of CSA funds to ensure they reach the ministries, programs, and services for which they are intended.
Have CSA funds ever been used to settle judgements against the archdiocese?
No CSA dollars have ever been – or ever will be – used to settle claims of any nature against the archdiocese.
