The Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) is an annual campaign to empower local ministries to educate in faith, help those in need, strengthen in faith, and protect life.
Your CSA donation is used to support various local ministries:
Educate in Faith
Help Those in Need
Strengthen in Faith
Protect Life
Elevate Life: Assists more than 30 affiliated Pregnancy Resource Centers in 39 locations across Minnesota and western Wisconsin. These Affiliate locations help women and their families facing unplanned or difficult pregnancies by offering compassionate service and encouraging informed decision making.
Your CSA donation will go towards the appeal generally and cannot be allocated to a specific ministry that the appeal supports, but please be assured that your donation will be dispersed amongst all ministries that are benefited. If you would like to give to a specific ministry at the Archdiocese, please contact us at XXXX.

The Office of Mission Advancement at the Archdiocese of St. Paul & Minneapolis manages the CSA, effective January 1, 2024.
The Archdiocesan Office of Mission Advancement supports and encourages the faithful to share the resources entrusted to them by God for the good of our Church. This includes:
The Catholic Services Appeal Foundation (CSAF) is the entity that managed the CSA prior to 2024. In 2023, the CSAF Board of Directors voted unanimously to dissolve the Foundation as of the end of the 2023 CSA campaign and to support the annual Appeal’s return to the Archdiocese as of January 1, 2024. The Archdiocesan Finance Council Corporate Board (AFCCB) also voted to reintegrate the annual Appeal into the Archdiocesan structure.
