The 2026 Catholic Service and Ministry Appeal
Those who are kind to the needy honor Him
The homebound, sick and seniors living in the southernmost part of the state are assured they will have food to eat thanks to daystar Community Program's mobile food pantry, which delivers groceries on a regular basis to those not able to visit Daystar's on-site food pantry. YOUR GIFT to the Catholic Service and Ministry Appeal makes Daystar's truly life-saving ministry possible. If you haven't already done so, please donate today and help Daystar to serve truly the poorest of the poor; they are counting on YOU!
Our God who sent his only Son to die for his people is a generous God. Not only has he redeemed us, he has invited us to participate in his plan of salvation. Jesus promises that those who follow him in laying down their lives will produce much fruit. Let us strive to emulate this generosity, keeping mind Saint Paul's words that whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
