As Christian stewards and witnesses to the love of Jesus we recognize that Christ is the source of our many gifts. As grateful stewards, we embrace the Diocesan Services Appeal as a way to faithfully bear witness to the many good works of our Holy Catholic Church. Please prayerfully consider a gift to support the efforts of our parish and to make an impact across the wider church.
You can submit your DSA pledge envelope during Mass – or take your DSA envelope home to prayerfully consider your gift decision. Those paying by cash or check are invited to return their completed pledge form in the DSA envelope to our parish office. Those who wish to pay by credit card or electronic funds transfer may enter your gift online at www.dioceseoflansing.org/appeal. We encourage every one of our parish households to reflect on how we can bear witness to our faith in Jesus Christ by supporting the work of the DSA this year.
2025 DSA Prayer
Heavenly Father,
In Your wisdom, You call us to be witnesses of Your truth.
Grant us strength to reflect Your love and lead others to You.
Fill our hearts with the Holy Spirit,
That we may boldly share the good news of salvation.
Bless the Diocesan Services Appeal,
Strengthen our community, nurture faith,
And guide us to serve with generosity and grace.
May our contributions glorify Your name
And bring hope to those in need.
In every moment, remind us we are never alone,
For You are with us, lighting our path.
Help us remain steadfast as faithful witnesses,
Always bringing glory to Your name.
Through Christ our Lord, we pray.
Amen.
