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). The annual campaign ends December 31st. Our assessed amount for 2026 is $28,703. Please consider making your gift online at www.archgh.org/dsf. And join our mission to be Christ’s hands and heart in our community. We have already raised $8,840 (as of April 7, 2026). We still need to raise $19,863. We kindly ask for your support for this annual collection. We count on your generosity.
