A Letter from Our Pastor
Dear Parishioners,
Our CSA theme this year is Partners in Ministry. Over these past months of the COVID Pandemic, the Diocese has been a tremendous partner to our parishes and to me as your Pastor. While the support received has been mostly, “Behind the scenes” it has been essential to the continued operation of our parishes. This is but one example of how the Diocese of Gary supports us and many ministries. The CSA is our opportunity to financially partner with the Diocese in making this happen.
Bishop McClory has written to us stating:
For over thirty-three years the Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) has been a way for believers throughout Lake, Porter, LaPorte and Starke counties to fiscally provide compassionate care to a broken and wounded world. CSA is a transformative vehicle that supports charitable work, educational services and apostolic ministries that serve others with love and mercy. Due to the mandated stay-at-home order and the subsequent closing of parishes for public worship, the 2020 CSA campaign was delayed, but many of the programs and ministries supported by the CSA continued. Additionally, parishes and Catholic schools received important emergency resources to ensure that education, sacramental preparation, and faith formation continued.
With Father Nate, I would like to ask you to prayerfully consider making a sacrificial gift to support the ministries of our Church through the CSA.
The Diocese sets our goals based on each parish’s Sunday Collections and other income received.
For this year, our goals are as follows:
Sacred Heart: $32,092
St. Joseph: $34,733
St. Peter: $25,292
To meet and exceed these goals, we need everyone to do their part. Any funds received over our goal are returned to the parish. Every gift large or small is important. Out of gratitude for all God has done for me, I have personally made my gift of $1,500.00 towards this year’s campaign.
Please make the gift you feel God is calling you to make.
Enclosed you will find a CSA Pledge Form and a return envelope addressed to the Diocese. You may use this form to either make a pledge to be paid out over several months or a one-time payment. It may be mailed directly to the Diocese or placed in the collection basket at Mass. Also, you can go online to dcgary.org/csa for more information or to make an online payment. Our own website, catholiclaporte.org, also has further information about the CSA and how to contribute. Please prayerfully consider a personal pledge to the 2020 CSA campaign.
