This year’s Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) theme, Eyes Fixed on Jesus, comes from the letter to the Hebrews (Heb 12:1-2). It reminds us that when we focus on Our Lord and Savior, we receive the strength and courage to share our love of Jesus Christ with others so that they, too, may encounter him. Help us share the love of Christ and respond to the material and spiritual needs of individuals and families in Southeast Michigan by making a gift today at givecsa.org
