What is DSF?
The Diocesan Services Fund (DSF) is the annual appeal that provides funding for essential ministries and programs that serve the religious, spiritual and human needs of thousands of people from every parish. Catechetical programs, hospital and prison ministries, programs for the aging and youth and many more are made possible by the annual DSF. Each parish is assessed an annual amount by the Archdiocese which is to be paid by parishioners during the calendar year (January - December). Any shortfall must be covered by the parish.The annual campaign ends December 31st.
Our assessed amount for 2026 is $161,250

As we begin a new Diocesan Services Fund (DSF) Campaign, in 2026 titled “In the One, We are One”, I am going to again make a bold ask. DSF for us is not just about raising a certain amount of money. This is part of our stewardship as we show not only thanksgiving to God, but justice and charity to our neighbor. **My bold ask: that every single household of this parish participate in DSF 2026.**If this sounds familiar, you are right—I made this ask last year. Some responded while many did not. Nearly 44% of our households contributed to the campaign, but that remains a minority. We are grateful for the generosity of those who gave, but it should not be incumbent upon a minority to support the works of the Church to those in need—the responsibility belongs to us all.
