THE DSA provides support for more than 20 services that Catholic Charities is able to offer to those in need in Western North Carolina and throughout the Diocese. 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!

Thompson Gas Give Back Program will take place again this year for both Parishes. All existing customers must sign up again and we always welcome new customers.

This is a win-win situation for not only the parishioners but our parishes as well as part of their “Giving back to our churches” program.
