Diocesan Support Appeal 2019
“WE ARE HIS HANDS” is the theme of the 2019 Diocesan Support Appeal which kicks off the weekend of February 9th and 10th. You will be receiving correspondence from Bishop Jugis asking for your generous support of the DSA. A short video will be shown during the Masses on the kick off weekend which will present an overview of how the funds given to the DSA impact our Diocese. Bishop Jugis asks each of us to prayerfully consider a gift to the DSA as a way of serving Christ through service to thousands of Catholics in Western North Carolina.
The DSA Assessment for 2019 is $21,063. All contributions made after 1/1/19 will go towards this year's goal.
DIOCESAN SUPPORT APPEAL PRAYER
Loving God, You call us to a life of service, entrusting to us
the mission of making Your name and Your love known.
We strive each day to use Your generous gifts to grow ever more faithfully into a
community of faith and love, attracting people to Your Son, Jesus.
We are grateful for Your gifts.
Help us to use them wisely in Your service. Keep us ever
mindful of the many needs of our brothers and sisters in Christ. Help us recognize the presence of Your Son in them and respond to the Diocesan Support Appeal with love,
compassion and generosity. May our words and actions be
a response to Your great love, in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.All pledges must be paid by the end of 2019.
Any shortfall remaining on 12/31/2019 must be paid from operating funds. -

Mid July marks the half-way point of the DSA Campaign this year. When we have reached our goal set by the Diocese, funds over and above our target are refunded directly to the Parish. Likewise, any shortfall must be paid from Parish operating funds. If you have not yet pledged or made a donation to the 2019 campaign, please consider supporting the DSA with your financial gifts!Read More -
