Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
I am incredibly humbled by the generosity shown by you and your brothers and sisters in Christ to the Catholic Services Appeal (CSA). God has blessed this local church in many ways, especially through the faithful who practice intentional discipleship by sharing their gifts with others.
Contained within this booklet are stories of love, compassion and care made possible through your generosity to the CSA. Please take time to read these stories which illustrate how our Catholic faith is being lived every day in the Diocese of Austin, reflecting God’s love for each other.
Gratefully in Christ,
Most Reverend Joe S. Vásquez
Bishop of Austin

A $30,000 Project Made PossibleStories From the Impact Report, Case Brochure and Grant program
“Our project for a cemetery committal shelter at St. John the Baptist Parish in Fayetteville was partially funded through our CSA grant award. We never thought the $30,000 project was possible because of funding.
“After I let the parish know that we received $7,500 in grants, the parishioners were so excited that we were able to raise the additional funds needed to make our dream come true. This year, we reached our CSA goal early on because they could see the fruits of their generosity.
"We were doubly blessed this year as St. Mary Parish in Ellinger was also awarded with a $7,500 CSA grant. The grant went towards making our parish hall restrooms ADA compliant. This project was put on hold in the past but the money from the CSA made it possible.”Father Steve Sauser
St. John the Baptist Parish, Fayetteville & St. Mary Mission, Ellinger

Because of your generosity, the CSA grant program gives hope to small and rural parishes that are not able to fund needed projects on their own.
