DIOCESE OF CHARLOTTE
2025 DIOCESAN SUPPORT APPEAL
“All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.”
-St. Francis of Assisi
“Reflecting God’s Light” is the theme of the 2025 Diocesan Support Appeal and follows Bishop Martin’s challenge to stretch ourselves and to let God’s light shine through us and use the gifts of this world for God’s glory. The DSA provides funds for Catholic Charities, educational, multicultural and vocational ministries and the Eucharistic Congress. Your contribution to the DSA funds agencies and ministries that reach the poor, hungry and homeless. It also provides programs that help in the faith formation of children, teens, families and those studying vocations. Your participation, your prayers and your financial support of the DSA are crucial to making God’s love known to those who are less fortunate, marginalized or hungering for his presence in their lives.
Please visit our website at www.stpiusxnc.com/dsa to watch the 2025 DSA video and to donate online. In the video, Bishop Martin explains how we can reflect the light of God’s glory by using human hands and he highlights some of the important work done by DSA-funded ministries. St. Pius the Tenth’s 2025 DSA campaign assessment is $213,000. We will need the support of all parish families to meet this goal.
