The second collection for this weekend (October 25-26) is for the Diocese of Austin’s annual Catholic Services Appeal (CSA). This year’s theme is “Together we bring hope.” Your gift to the CSA supports men discerning vocations to the priesthood and diaconate, priests currently serving and retired priests. Your gift helps to sustain Catholic schools, religious education, ministerial formation and initiatives for life, peace and justice. Your donations are carefully spent; it is money for God’s work, and we use it accordingly. Your contributions are deeply appreciated, very much needed and make a real difference in the lives of many.
