🙏✝️2020 Pastoral Services Appeal✝️🙏
Our Faith. Our Future

Thank you to all who have already given!!

Our participation in the Pastoral Services Appeal makes a real and tangible impact on lives in our parishes, schools and communities in Orange County.

The Pastoral Services Appeal not only supports vital ministries that impact the lives of all Catholics in the Diocese of Orange, but also directly helps Corpus Christi!

Once our assessment is met, every dollar donated to PSA comes directly back to Corpus Christi, where we can continue our mission of nuturing our faith, with each other, and share who God is to all who grace our doors.

The very future of our faith depends on how we celebrate our blessings today and how we choose to share them. Please prayerfully consider offering your support of the 2020 PSA today.

For more information or to give to PSA online, click on the link below:
