All that we do, all that we are, is for God's glory!

I have chosen "All for the Glory of God" as the theme for this year's Diocesan Services Fund (DSF) appeal. Your support of the DSF allows us, as one Archdiocesan family, to come together and glorify God through 60+ministries that serve those in need. Supporting the DSF makes these ministries possible.

This year, I have chosen to highlight San Jose Clinic, celebrating their centennial, which continues to provide life-saving care; the Office of Family Life Ministry, which provides over 50 programs that strengthen and help our families - the most critical unit of society; and the Office of Young Adult and Campus Ministry, through which we are able to accompany young Catholics, to help them grow in their faith, and to form them as Disciples of Christ.

Thank you for considering a one-time or monthly gift to the DSF this year. A little goes a long way when we all work together.

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 2022 is $145,000.
