Stewards of God's Grace -
Diocesan Capital Campaign As we begin this season, we are also looking ahead to our all-parish, diocesan-wide capital campaign to help strengthen our parishes and our diocese. Many other parishes have completed the campaign with great success. Our kick-off will be March 3rd and 4th. The Stewards of God's Grace capital campaign will achieve several objectives for our diocesan ministries as well as our own parish. On the diocesan level it will work towards a fully funded pension plan for retired priests, fund continuing education for priests, provide support for a priest sabbatical fund, provide seed monies for a priest aid fund; bolster tuition assistance for Catholic schools; provide for training and certification of teachers of religious education; enrich programming for youth and young adults; generate new work space and enhanced services for Catholic Charities clients; sustain the current and future needs of our parishes; and improve the energy efficiency of the diocese with the installation of new widows in the Catholic Center. On the parish side of things, it will help us to do parking lot repair for the school and church, add new roofs to the south and east wings of the school, replace the current HVAC system in the church with a more efficient one and replace our aged, church carpet and pew upholstery. These are things that we haven't been able to accomplish over the last many years due to our debt. We want to be better stewards of buildings and furnishings of our parish and church. UPDATE: We are currently at $756,986.31 in pledges towards our $901,000 goal for the Stewards of God's Grace shared parish & diocese campaign. We have much to celebrate with this number! Thank you to so many of you who have already given your pledge. It is only because of you that we are this close. For those who have been on the fence or just haven't taken the step of filling out a pledge card, your chance will be this weekend. We will have pledge cards in the pew and Fr. Jason will guide us in prayerfully considering what God is asking us to give. Please help us to not only reach but exceed our goal with your generosity!
