This weekend is our Catholic Services Appeal, which helps our Diocese of Superior serve the people of Northern Wisconsin. Our goals this year are $69,650 for St. Joseph and $17,290 for St. Ann. We made our goals last year, and I\u2019m confident we can do it again. But I want to challenge us to something deeper than simply meeting a number: prayerful generosity. Jesus gives us the perfect example. He was prayerful\u2014continually interceding for us\u2014and He was generous, giving His very life for our salvation. The CSA makes a real difference: it supports our seminarians and future priests, including the formation that led to my own priesthood. It helps provide priests for our parishes, youth and adult faith opportunities, Catholic schools, and the many services that keep our Diocese and parishes going. So please support the CSA. But even more, I challenge you this year to give more than you did last year\u2014and pray as you give. Give to the Church, the CSA, and the charitable causes you care about. Let your generosity become an act of prayer. We made our goal last year; let\u2019s make it again\u2014and let\u2019s see if we can do it in just two months! I\u2019m confident we can. But most importantly, let\u2019s grow in prayerful generosity, because that makes us look more like Jesus. ","author_name":"Anchored In The Lord","author_url":"http:\/\/anchoredinthelord.org","html":"
