At the heart of our Church is our clergy. The CSA provides care for our senior and retired priests, ongoing formation for priests in active ministry, and support for permanent deacons. Most importantly, we invest in the formation and education of our seminarians, preparing future priests to shepherd our communities with kindly zeal and loving compassion. Your gift ensures that the spiritual leaders of today and tomorrow are well-formed and never alone in their mission.
Your CSA gift helps ignite a lifelong love for Christ by supporting Catholic schools, forming parish catechists, and empowering administrators and educators with the tools they need to inspire excellence. We catechize children, youth, and adults in the truths of the Catholic faith, providing the foundation for a vibrant and holy life. Together, we form the next generation of disciples in wisdom and holiness.
Our worship is at the center of who we are as Catholics. Through the CSA, we nourish spiritual growth by supporting Cedarbrake Catholic Retreat Center where thousands encounter Christ in silence, prayer, and community. We also accompany parish liturgical and music ministers — those who serve at the altar and lead us in sacred music — ensuring our celebrations are worthy, beautiful, and transformational for all who gather to praise God.
Guided by the truth of the God given dignity of every person, the CSA reaches the most vulnerable among us. Through Catholic Charities of Central Texas, families secure food, housing, and vital services. Our ministries uphold life at every stage, support family stability, and offer healing and hope. Evangelization and mission programs empower us to be Christ’s hands and feet in our neighborhoods. Your gift brings the Gospel to life through justice, mercy, and love.
The CSA ensures vibrant pastoral care for people of every age, background, and culture. We accompany our diverse communities — Asian, Black, Hispanic, and many more — through integrated ministry. We form youth and young adult leaders to engage life with the joy of the Gospel. On our college campuses, we walk with students during pivotal years of faith and discovery. Your generosity ensures all are recognized, welcomed, and loved as the Mystical Body of Christ.
Strong parishes and schools are the foundation of our diocese. The CSA empowers local communities through grants that support capital projects in low and middle-income parishes and schools. Whether renovating sacred spaces or upgrading aging facilities, these funds ensure that every parish and school can carry out its mission effectively. With your help, we build up the Church where it’s most needed — in the parishes, where faith comes to life.
