Over the past several weeks we have been discussing the upcoming projects that will help improve our parish.
This week during Mass we reviewed the project list and goal of the campaign, You will be receiving more information in the mail about the campaign this week if you have not already received it. Please reflect on the information and consider how you can support our campaign.
Next weekend, as an entire parish, we will spend a few minutes making our pledge to the campaign. Together we will continue to maintain God’s house to enrich our parish.
The finance council assessed the total needs of the projects in our parish and have come up with a goal of $3,000,000. Our hope is to raise these funds over the next 3 years. With the help of each family, we can exceed our goal.
As your family prays and reflects on the level of their gift, please know that no one can tell another what to give but many families do ask for a guideline. A “Guideline to Giving” can be found in the campaign brochure you will receive in the mail this week or in the pew pockets in the Church.
When deciding how much to give to the Capital Campaign, many parishioners have also found it helpful to start their thinking at giving ‘one dollar per week per one-thousand dollars of annual household income’. In other words, if you make $50,000 per year, consider $50 per week, $80,000 per year consider $80 per week and so on. Please also remember that your capital gift is over and above whatever you contribute weekly or monthly now to the offertory collection. Please bring your pledge card back to next weekend’s Mass.
