Our parish is participating in the Rooted in Christ—Growing in Faith campaign, which is an archdiocesan-wide effort our Rooted in Christ--Growing in Faith campaign, which is an archdiocesan-wide effort to help provide for the continued growth or our archdiocese and several longer term needs including building funds to help provide facilities for some of our under-resourced parishes as well as building endowments that will support our Catholic schools, college campus ministries, Catholic Charities, seminarian formation and resources to help support our priests. Archbishop Hartmayer has set the goal for this five-year campaign at $185 million, and every parish has been given a target to raise as their portion of the campaign.
The target for our parish is $3.5 million (over five years), and our parish will retain 30% (over $1 million) of the funds that we raise. And once we surpass the target, the ratio flips, and we retain 70% of the excess of our target, and 30% goes the the larger archdiocesan needs. We have earmarked our parish funds to help with the cost of expanding our parking, beautifying our entrance, and also renovating our bathrooms (see the images below to find out more about these projects). We have already begun the bathroom renovations, and the other projects are underway, although still in the planning phase.
Over the last few months several of our parishioners were invited to make a pledge to help us reach our goal of $3.5 million as we approach our parish-wide in-pew commitment weekend on August 29-30, and we have already raised about $3.2 million in gifts and pledges! Archbishop Hartmayer will be with us to officiate at our 10:00am Mass on August 30 to celebrate the generosity of our parish to the campaign.
Our in-pew commitment weekend will take place August 29-30, and those who have not yet had an opportunity to make a pledge can do so at Mass. In the meantime, please consider making an early pledge online, by using this link. We are asking all parishioners to consider a sacrificial five-year pledge of at least $3,000 ($50/month). However, if you are not able to give that amount, please pledge whatever amount you feel called to give. If you would like to find out more about the campaign, you can also us for a information sessions we are hosting after all Masses, the weekend of August 22-23.

This project will beautify our entrance and increase our street appeal by replacing our monument sign (which needs to be replaced due to the Ben King Road widening project slated for summer 2027), and ornamental fencing along Ben King Road will give our campus a more stately appearance from the road.

Updating Church Restrooms - $53,000
Renovating our outdated and dilapidated restrooms in the narthex area, as well as those located down the preschool hallway, will make them more inviting for parishioners and visitors, reflect our commitment to hospitality, and better support increased use of our campus.
