“A Christian Steward receives God’s gifts gratefully, cherishes and tends them in a responsible and accountable manner, shares them in justice and love with others and returns them with increase to the Lord.”

2023 ACA Goal

But in surpassing our goal, we are also helping ourselves since all of the paid pledges in excess of our assigned goal are rebated directly back to our parish!
Make a Pledge
In recent years, our parish has been successful in exceeding our ACA goal, but it all depends on you. Every pledge is important, regardless of the amount, and every pledge must be paid in order for us to meet our goal. Please prayerfully consider your pledge to ACA and join me in making a pledge. Thank you in advance for your generous contribution to the ACA!

ASF ACA Tax ID #85-0422498
Funds donated to the Annual Catholic Appeal support the Archdiocesan ministries, programs, and services that serve the
spiritual, educational, and physical needs of the people of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe so that all parishes may develop as
vibrant Catholic communities and support the needs of the wider Archdiocesan Church.
It is designed to:
The Annual Catholic Appeal Office (ACA) is committed to help donors share their financial gifts in an effort to support the
mission and ministry of Jesus Christ throughout the Archdiocese of Santa Fe.
Through the work of the ministries, services, and programs of our Archdiocese, your gifts greatly benefit those in need. This could not be accomplished without your generous support! 2023 ASF ACA goal is $2,500,000. Learn more at the Archdiocese of Santa Fe website.
The Annual Catholic Appeal Foundation is NOT part of this filing.
ACA is separately incorporated. Funding is not available for legal claims.
Your community, parish and all people of the Archdiocese benefit from the Annual Catholic Appeal through the ministries, services and programs provided by the Archdiocese.
In addition, every parish in the Archdiocese is assigned an ACA financial goal. Once met, 100% of all contributions received over the goal are returned to the parish in the form of a rebate. Rebates may be used by the parish to fund local ministries or special projects.
As Archbishop Wester has suggested, we should give based on how grateful we are. Giving alms to the Church and to the poor is a spiritual practice that helps us to grow in holiness. The level of giving is up to you; no one can tell you how much to give. Your decision will depend on your own financial circumstances, your understanding and practice of Christian Stewardship, and the needs of the Annual Catholic Appeal. We only ask that you trust God, and that you prayerfully make a pledge and donate in proportion to your means.
Every gift is important (and necessary) if your parish and the Archdiocese are to continue to serve effectively. Even the smallest contributions, when added together, make a tremendous impact.
You may also be able to give more than you think. For example, $25.00 at the beginning of the campaign, and $25.00 a month for ten months will result in a $275.00 contribution. Reminder statements can be sent automatically by mail or email for pledges with remaining balances (with the exception of Electronic Debit and Credit online payments which will be automatically deducted as indicated by donor).
No. The pledge is not a legal document. We trust, however, that you will honor your pledge.
Call the Annual Catholic Appeal office at 505-831-8239 or 8138, or send them an email at aca@archdiosf.org with any questions.

Regarding the Archdiocese of Santa Fe Chapter 11 Reorganization:
The Archdiocese of Santa Fe entered into Chapter 11 reorganization during the first week of December 2018. The Annual Catholic Appeal Foundation is NOT part of the Chapter 11 filing. ACA is separately incorporated and funding is not available for legal claims. ACA remains a significant source of funding for the ministries, programs, and services of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe throughout this process and beyond. Christ’s loving work must endure through this. Thank you for continuing to support these efforts.
