DIOCESE OF CHARLOTTE
2024 DIOCESAN SUPPORT APPEAL
“As a body is one though it has many parts,
and all the parts of the body,
though many, are one body, so also Christ.”
1 Corinthians 12:12
“One Body in Christ” is the theme of the 2024 Diocesan Support Appeal. Your contribution to the DSA helps fund the social service, educational, multicultural and vocational ministries of the diocese. You are an important part of the Body of Christ here in the Diocese of Charlotte. Your participation, your prayers and your financial support of the DSA are crucial to helping our brothers and sisters in Christ who are in need. Please join with us in making God’s love known to those who are less fortunate, marginalized or hungering for his presence in their lives.
The DSA provides support for more than 50 ministries throughout western North Carolina. Some of these ministries provide services beyond the scope of individual parishes and some exist for the sole purpose of assisting parishes in their mission to teach, evangelize and serve, Included in DSA funding is the seminarian formation program, which has seen enrollment triple over the past 9 years and the College Campus Ministry program, which supports 2,100 Catholic students at 19 local colleges and universities. Your DSA contribution also significantly supports the work of Catholic Charities social services programs, which served more than 22, 900 people last year with emergency aid, counseling, housing support and more.
St. Pius the Tenth’s 2024 DSA campaign assessment is $212,000. We will need the support of all parish families to meet this goal.
