Fulfilling the Promise Capital Campaign Corner

Bulletin Announcement

Dear Parishioners,

We are finally on our way to realizing a dream that’s been 50 years in the making.  In March 2011 we’ll enjoy ground breaking ceremonies for the construction of our new church home.  This exciting, wonderful and historic chapter is being added to the pages of Saint Patrick because of the sacrifices made by many of you and others before you. For that I am extremely grateful.

As you know, before we look ahead to next year, it is necessary to conduct a capital campaign designed to raise the remaining funds needed for the building project.  Thus we are currently in the infant stages of the three-year Fulfilling the Promise Capital Campaign.  It is our hope to celebrate the success of effort at the following benchmarks:

• Celebration Goal -$1.4 million
• Challenge Goal-$1.9 million
• Victory Goal -$2.4 million

The Victory Goal represents the total remaining dollars we need to begin our project without borrowing additional dollars from the diocese.

Over the next few weeks we’ll continue preparing for our campaign.  A portion of this stage includes recruiting leaders to assist in the effort.  I am confident that as a faith family we’ll all embrace the campaign to ensure its success.  One way you can take ownership is by joining our campaign volunteer team. If you are interested, I encourage you to stop by my office so we may discuss your role.

Because of our commitment, the love for our parish and the power of the Holy Spirit, we are an active and vibrant faith community.   With all of us working and sacrificing together, we can continue to accomplish great things here at Saint Patrick.  May I ask that you continue to pray for guidance of the Holy Spirit to direct us in this important project?

God’s Blessings,

Fr. Mike
