GIVING IS FINALLYYYYYYYY… OPEN!!! 🎉

God is doing incredible things at Catholic Campus Ministry at SMU. We’re welcoming record numbers of students to Mass, Bible studies, and retreats, and with SMU’s largest-ever freshman class this fall, we’re preparing to serve even more.

So this year, we’re setting our BIGGEST NORTH TEXAS GIVING DAY GOAL EVER: $100,000.

And here’s the exciting part:

Gifts made during Early Giving will be DOUBLED up to $25,000!

Every dollar you give over the next two weeks will be matched dollar for dollar until the match is met.
