THE 2017 CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL - A Message from Bishop Andrew Cozzens “Last fall I was able to join several other priests in hearing confessions for more than 100 college students who were on retreat from the University of Minnesota Newman Center at St. Lawrence. Recently, Archbishop Bernard Hebda cele- brated the sacrament of confirmation for three inmates at Lino lakes state prison. In October, I led eucharistic adoration for more than 1,200 high school students at Archdiocesan Youth Day. More than 30,000 Latinos attended services for the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe in our parishes this year. Our two priests at the archdiocesan mission in Venezuela brought the sacraments and the love of Jesus to one of the poorest places in the world in their parish, which numbers 65,000 faithful. The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis was ranked fifth in the country the last three years for the number of priests ordained, as we ordained 26 new priests in the last three years and will ordain 10 more in May. What do all these facts have in common? They were all made possible by the Catholic Services Appeal.”

Please consider a donation to the CSAF and remember that our parish also benefits. We receive 25% of the dollars from your gifts to the CSAF if we reach our parish goal of $109,599.00. Envelopes are in the kiosk by the parish office. You can go to www.csafspm.org to read more about the ministries benefited by the CSAF. Thank you for your generosity!
