Gracious & Loving God,
We are grateful for the sacrifices and the hard work of previous generations of paishioners who have helped make our parish what it is today. May we be as generous as we look to our future. Bless our capital campaign with a deepening devotion to prayer, a growing commitment for service, and an increasing level of generosity as we work to carry on the faith and tradition of our parish. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
With grateful hearts, we honor our past for the sacrifices that have made St. Patrick's a Catholic family with deep roots and a solid foundation.
Since the founding of St. Patrick's parish in 1868, generations of families and parishioners have deicated themselves to the success of our parish. Just as those before us have made sacrifices, we must support our church and community now for the generations to come.
With your committment to your parish it is time to continue our legacy for our future.
Over the past 13 years:
- Remodeled and expanded the church worship space.
- Added vital classrooms for St. Patrick's school, religious formation program, youth ministry and numerous other parish groups.
- Raised over $6.1 million in pledges through the three previous campaigns.
Current Situation:
- A recession, among other factors, resulted in reduced campaign contributions.
- A fiscally responsible plan has enabled us to stay within a tight operating budget to ensure the financial stability for St. Patrick's.
- $7.8 million of debt remains.
For now, construction is done. As the St. Patrick's community continues to grow, so too will the need for future projects. It is important that we take on the responsilbity to retire our debt now. This can only be accomplished with your committment, to your parish, for our future.
When we nurture and generously share the gifts and talents God has given us, we enrich our community and grow His kingdom here on earth. It is out of gratitude to God for His many blessing that we choose to give and share. We thank you for your support in this endeavor.
This is a tremendous undertaking that we are all faced with in order to meet the needs of our parish community with ministries and programs for years to come.
Your gift will contribute to the success of this campaign and provide a lasting gift for future generations to come. Thank you for your support!
