Faith in Action

Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.

The mission of the Catholic Services Appeal Foundation is to work with each of the parishes of The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis to conduct an Annual Appeal to fund 20 Designated Ministries within the Archdiocese that no one parish can support on its own. Some of the Designated Ministries are established pursuant to our organizational documents, which require us to maintain our focus on these ministries. A major focus for us is to effectively communicate how the Designated Ministries serve the poor, support life, strengthen the Faith, and transform lives through the Gospel. Our obligation is to honor and implement donor intent, with full accountability to the donors, with full transparency as to where each donor’s dollar is spent.  Interested in support this important work?
