CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL (CSA): YOUR DOLLARS AT WORK
Your gifts to the Catholic Services Appeal are used solely and exclusively to support archdiocesan ministries, programs and services as well as national collections of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. No CSA dollars have ever been - or ever will be - used to support projects outside the Archdiocese or to settle claims of any nature against the Archdiocese. A lay finance council carefully oversees the distribution of CSA funds to ensure all monies reach the ministries and programs for which they are intended.
WHAT DO CSA DOLLARS SUPPORT?
Here is a just a brief look at some of the programs supported by your CSA dollars.
