The Diocesan Services Fund (DSF) helps all of us fulfill Christ’s mission here on earth by supporting those programs and services that cannot be accomplished by one parish alone. More than 60 programs receive all or part of their funding from DSF and all funds are spent within Archdiocesan boundaries. The broad areas of ministry that receive DSF support include: Catholic education of children and adults; pastoral ministries for the sick, the poor and the incarcerated; the formation and education of church leadership; social service programs such as San José Clinic, St. Dominic Village and Catholic Charities.

All that we do, all that we are, is for God's glory!

I have chosen "All for the Glory of God" as the theme for this year's Diocesan Services Fund (DSF) appeal. Your support of the DSF allows us, as one Archdiocesan family, to come together and glorify God through 60+ministries that serve those in need. Supporting the DSF makes these ministries possible.

This year, I have chosen to highlight San Jose Clinic, celebrating their centennial, which continues to provide life-saving care; the Office of Family Life Ministry, which provides over 50 programs that strengthen and help our families - the most critical unit of society; and the Office of Young Adult and Campus Ministry, through which we are able to accompany young Catholics, to help them grow in their faith, and to form them as Disciples of Christ.

Thank you for considering a one-time or monthly gift to the DSF this year. A little goes a long way when we all work together.
