Catholic Services Appeal

(CSA)

Our parish and all people of the diocese benefit from the Catholic Services Appeal through the services and programs provided by the diocesan ministries it supports. Every parish in the diocese is assigned a goal for the upcoming campaign. Once your parish reaches its goal, it then receives a dollar-for-dollar rebate for any amount over the parish goal.

CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL (CSA) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Who will participate in the Catholic Services Appeal (CSA)? All 28 parishes and missions within The Diocese of Reno participate in the campaign. All Catholic households in the diocese are asked to consider a financial pledge to the Catholic Services Appeal.
  • Will my parish benefit from the campaign? All parishes benefit from shared ministries funded through the campaign. Also, parishes receive 100% of gifts over the goal.
  • What is the Catholic Services Appeal (CSA)?
    The Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) is a vital source of annual funding for many programs and ministries in the Diocese of Reno.
  • How will this campaign impact the offertory of my parish? Parish offertory is not expected to fluctuate during the campaign. Parishioners are asked to give above and beyond their regular offertory giving. Campaigns like CSA can lead to increased offertory in the long term. Parishioners may engage more deeply with their parishes because of the campaign and increase their offertory giving when their pledge payments conclude.
  • Why does my request pledge card ask for a specific gift amount? A gift amount is suggested for each household to reach the $1.7 million challenge goal. A principle of this campaign is to each according to their blessings. All parishioners will be asked to give to CSA, but not everyone can give on the same level.
  • Why encourage pledges? CSA encourages pledges to allow donors to give more than they could with one-time gifts. Donors who pledge usually make gifts four to five times larger than those who make one-time gifts.
  • What if I am unable to fulfill my original pledge amount? Unanticipated events or situations can occur. If financial circumstances change, a donor may contact the Office of Stewardship & Development (OSD) to adjust, pause, or cancel their pledge.
  • How will pledges be collected? Completed pledge cards will be collected at the parish and sent to the Office of Stewardship & Development at the Diocese of Reno Pastoral Center. Credit card payments are highly encouraged. Electronic payments reduce costs and save resources, preserving funding for ministries. Pledge reminders will be mailed for payments by check.
