Seventeen weeks into the 2016 Catholic Services Appeal, the Plymouth-based Catholic Services Appeal Foundation reports that it is ahead of last year’s campaign, both in dollars pledged and dollars received, as well as the total number of gifts.
As of June 2, it had received more than $7.2 million in pledges and more than $5.4 million in payments received, up more than $100,000 in both areas as compared to June 2015. It has also received $33,249 gifts, 1,000 more than in June 2015.
The CSAF expects to begin a phone campaign June 13 as it aims to raise $9.3 million to support 17 ministries in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
