THE MISSION OF DSF
The mission of the Diocesan Services Fund (DSF) is to provide essential support for the 64 ministries that serve those in need throughout the Archdiocese of GalvestonHouston that no one parish can deliver on their own.
DSF supports the formation of our clergy; serves the poor, feeds the hungry, and supports those in need; provides a strong Catholic education to more than 17,500 students; and forms the next generation of Catholics through youth and adult faith formation.
Through DSF, we can serve one another and fully live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our thoughts and actions every day.
HOW DSF Funds ARE ALLOCATED
Promoting, Preparing and Supporting Clergy
Nurturing and Strengthening Families

Ministering to the Poor, the Sick, and the Incarcerated
“The Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston form disciples educated in both faith and intellect. We are committed to the educational mission of the Church, as we prepare students for Heaven, college and career. The support we receive from the Diocesan Services Fund enables our 56 Catholic schools to fulfill that mission, as evident in our graduates who possess characteristics that empower them to live faithfully as disciples of Christ who transform the world! Thank you for your generous support!”
