Connecting with Supporters this Fall

Dear Friends of Catholic Social Services,

For many years, the CSS Annual Gathering has brought our community together to share agency updates, recognize exceptional service, and thank the people who make our mission possible.

This year, we are carrying that purpose forward in a new way. After considering how CSS can more effectively share its work with supporters across western South Dakota, we have decided not to hold an Annual Gathering this fall. Instead, we will introduce a new annual Impact Report and increase personal outreach from our team.


The report will bring together stories from our programs, results from the past year, and a clear account of what your generosity has made possible. This approach will allow us to share the work of CSS with supporters while continuing to raise awareness and build relationships that are central to our mission.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported our mission and helped make the Annual Gathering meaningful over the years. The tradition of recognizing exceptional service will continue, and we will share more about those plans in the new year.

Watch for the new Impact Report later this fall.

We also look forward to gathering with the CSS community at the Palm Sunday Brunch on March 21, 2027. Additional information will be shared in the months ahead.
