Information on the Catholic Services Appeal
May of each year marks the beginning of our annual Catholic Services Appeal.
Gifts to the CSA make possible a wealth of ministries, programs, and services that touch the lives of thousands of Catholics throughout the six counties of the Archdiocese of Detroit each day. These are blessings that benefit everyone in the Archdiocese, and that no one parish could provide on its own.
The Catholic Services Appeal is a pledge program, allowing you to spread your gift over several months.
For information about CSA-funded ministries, programs, and services, please go to www.AOD.org.
