On behalf of those who benefit from the Diocesan Support Appeal, thank you for your generosity. The theme of the 2025 Diocesan Support Appeal is “Reflecting God’s Light” which draws upon a quote from St. Francis of Assisi: “All of the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.”
The purpose of the Diocesan Support Appeal (DSA) is to help provide the annual funding necessary to carry out the mission of our diocese – namely to fulfill our call to “grow ever more perfectly into a community of praise, worship and witness, and to become a leaven of service and sign of peace through love in the Piedmont and Western North Carolina.” Parishioners in all parishes and missions help fund the annual DSA.
Our parish assessment goal for 2025 is $37,496.00
