Archbishop Joe S. Vasquez

My brothers and sisters in Christ:

Recently, I visited one of priests in the hospital.  I was comforted to see how our priest chaplains and pastoral visitors care for our priests and for all who suffer and seek the healing presence of Christ in moments of illness.  This ministry-and many like it-is made possible through your support of the Diocesan Services Fund (DSF)

DSF supports sixty-four ministries that bring Christ's mercy and hope to many by forming young disciples, supporting Catholic schools, and serving families and neighbors in need

This year's DSF theme, drawn from Pope Leo XIV's motto In Illo Uno Unum ("In the One, We are One"), reminds us that in Christ we find our peace, our strength, and our purpose.  Your generosity to DSF is a living witness of the communion we share as His disciples.  Together, we bring the Gospel and the compassion of Christ to those most in need.

I invite you to renew your support today at and help ensure the Church remains a beacon of unity, faith, and love for all those who turn to it.  

Thank you for your faith, for your love of the Church, and your generous support.  

The Diocesan Services Fund (DSF) is the annual appeal that provides funding for essential ministries and programs that serve the religious, spiritual and human needs of thousands of people from every parish. Catechetical programs, hospital and prison ministries, programs for the aging and youth and many more are made possible by the annual DSF.  Each parish is assessed an annual amount by the Archdiocese which is to be paid by parishioners during the calendar year (January - December).  Any shortfall must be covered by the parish.   The annual campaign ends December 31st.  Our assessed amount for 2026 is $170,925.
