The Catholic Sharing Appeal (CSA) is a wonderful success story. It is the story about the Church here in Northwest Florida and the Big Bend, a story in which each and every one of us has a part to play. It is a local story of how the people of God have built this Church up to where it is now.

The Catholic Sharing Appeal was instituted when the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee was formed in 1975. Established without many reserves of its own, the diocese and parishes relied upon this vital funding source to carry on essential operations to survive as a local Church. Today, CSA continues to be used to allocate funds at the diocesan level for expenses that extend past the parish for regional responsibilities, while parishes retain funds received in excess of the goal for capital projects and programs within their parish.

By giving funds through CSA, the people of God assist their bishop and pastor in carrying out the three-fold mission of the Church: teaching, serving and worshipping.
