St. Mary Magdalen Church Expansion March 28, 2004 BUILDING
GOD’S HOUSE IN OUR TIME From
the pastor: I am happy to officially announce our plans to move ahead with realizing our dream. The Archdiocese has permitted us to begin our Capital Campaign. We are blessed with more good news. A number of our families, anxious to see us substantially exceed our goal, have gotten together, pooled their pledges, and offered a challenge to all of us. They have collectively committed $1,000,000 to the campaign – a stretch for each, and ask that as many other parishioners as possible help meet this challenge by also making ‘stretch’ commitments. They will match dollar for dollar – any family who commits $10,000 or more, and they will match 2 for 1 all pledges of $25,000 and higher. The $1,000,000 challenge is part of the $1.6 million I already announced as committed; this reflects my confidence that the challenge portion will be met.
On
Sunday, March 28th, a wine and hors d’oeuvre event has been
scheduled for (
Please know that we will appreciate each commitment which is made; our prayer is that each family will make the level gift which makes them feel good. The Parish Family and I are grateful to all who have given of their hearts and hands and invite you to join them. St. Mary Magdalen Pray for Us!
The initial pacesetters phase is seeking a group of parishioners to pledge their support of this wonderful project. We are looking forward to working with everyone and want you to know that all prayers, pledges and symbols of support will be tremendously appreciated. Each of you is cordially invited to work with us at any phase in any way that you are able. Together our entire parish family can build the spiritual foundation to meet the needs of our rapidly growing family. A team list follows, please join us.
