With the inspiring generosity of our parishioners and benefactors, we are well on our way to securing the financial health of the parish community through 2025 and beyond. As of June 14, the anniversary campaign has received one-time gifts and multi-year pledges totaling close to $4.84 million from 580 generous donors. And we have now surpassed $3.66 million in total funds collected to date! Thank you to all our donors!!!!
As announced in the original case statement shared with our parishioners in the fall of 2020, there are three critical funding priorities for the anniversary campaign:
Debt Reduction/Elimination: We are planning to make another significant advanced mortgage payment this summer.
Restricted Parish Education Fund: Campaign funds are being allocated to cover shortfalls in parish school operations each year, and as available, will provide monies to enrich program offerings, to sustain technology upgrades, and to provide tuition assistance to qualifying parish families.
Technology Development and Long-Term Maintenance Projects: The parish Maintenance & Facilities Committee is currently working through the Master Plan Facilities Study recommendations to draw up a multi-year budget for capital projects to be funded through anniversary campaign monies.
It's not too late for parishioners to participate in the anniversary campaign. Please consider making a one-time gift or a 12-month pledge (August 2023 through July 2024) to the campaign and help the parish reach the original $5 million target goal set back in 2021. For information, please call the parish office (610-321-1200).
