1/24/2015  My Dear Families in the Faith, I just wanted to express my most sincere gratitude to all of the people at St. Sebastian for your generosity in helping our Parish pay off our annual Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) commitment. We have completed our goal and for this may God bless you all for recognizing the importance of our call to be good stewards in our Christian efforts to assist our Archdiocese and to help assure that the many critical ministries that help so many may continue as we strive to serve CHRIST and His Church. Your kindness and openheartedness is integral to the many CSA-funded ministries of the Archdiocese of Detroit that provide programs, and services, that help to bring about a powerful and positive impact on the lives of thousands in southeast Michigan and beyond. Through the CSA, we share Christ’s message by serving countless people in ways we may not realize. All of us, personally and through our parishes, enjoy the fruits of the work of the Archdiocesan Central Services departments of Communications, Development and Stewardship, Evangelization, Catechesis, and Schools, and Parish Life and Services. Our gifts to the CSA also support the Office of Priestly Vocations, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, and the Metropolitan Tribunal. When we use God’s blessing to make our annual pledge to the CSA, we join with all of our sisters and brothers in Christ throughout the Archdiocese to do the Lord’s work — work that no one individual or parish can do alone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and may your reward be great in heaven! Sincerely Your Brother in Christ, Fr. Aaron
