Africa faces the economic and social hurdles of enormous debt, epidemic, severe poverty, and political unrest. In spite of these challenges, the Church in Africa has almost tripled in size in the past 30 years. The Fund provides grants to finance pastoral projects including outreach programs, schools, evangelization, and education of clergy and lay ministers. Our solidarity is necessary to help the “salt of the Earth” Church in Africa realize its potential as a “light of the world.”

The Diocesan Services Appeal (DSA) is the major source of funding for the programs, services and ministries of the Diocese of Superior. Each year over 100 parishes of our 16 county diocese come together in faith to collectively support over 30 causes that are vital to our Catholic faith, but which no single parish could individually maintain.
Although DSA gifts and pledges are received by parishes and the diocese throughout the year the first two weekends are perhaps the most important: Campaign Weekend and Follow-up Weekend.

World Mission Sunday, organized by the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, is a day set aside for Catholics worldwide to reflect on their own baptism, when they received the gift of faith, and recommit themselves to the Church's missionary activity through prayer and sacrifice.
Annually, World Mission Sunday is celebrated on the next-to-last Sunday in October. It is "an important day in the life of he Church because it teaches how to give: as an offering made to God, in the Eucharistic celebration and for the all the missions of the world".
