St. Hyacinth’s 2023
DSF Goal is
$85,000

 

The Diocesan Services Fund (DSF) is the way that all of the various parishes in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston cooperate together to continue toward accomplishing  the Gospel  mandate to "Keep dooing good works and sharing your resourcese, for these are the kinds of sacrifices that please God." Hebrews 13:16

As you know, our parish of St. Hyacinth seeks to be a 100% Stewardship Parish. We are not there yet, but we keep working at it. Being a Stewardship Parish means that EVERYONE is called to participate in the way that they are able, giving back to God a minimum of 10% of their time, 10% talent and 10% finances for the ministry of the parish and Church.

Each parish is assessed a goal from the Cardinal’s office of how much we need to cooperate with the diocesan mission of service. When we fall short of our parish goal the remaining total comes out of our general operating fund. In years passed only a small portion of our parish families participated in meeting our goal. I would like to challenge ALL parishioners to participate in some way with the DSF – even if it is only $100.00 for the whole year (That is only $10.00 a month) we are asking for EVERYONE to participate.



Please think and pray about how much your family can afford to participate. If we go over our goal, half of what is excess of our goal returns to the ministry needs of our parish.


Our parish is required to meet our goal, whether paid by us individually or paid from our general parish funds at the end of the year.
