SOWING SEEDS OF FAITH CAMPAIGN UPDATE

Beyond Our Goal, Building Our Future Together

​

I am happy to share another wonderful update on our Sowing Seeds of Faith Campaign. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity and commitment of our parishioners, we have now reached 190% of our parish goal of $981,000!

​

This is truly a blessing, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who has already made a pledge and participated in this campaign.

​

What makes this achievement even more meaningful is how it will benefit our parish. As you may recall, 50% of the first 100% of our campaign goal comes back to our parish. And now that we have exceeded our goal, 55% of the additional funds raised will also come back to our parish to support our Key Parish Investments.

​

These investments are not simply about improving our buildings or facilities. They are about strengthening the life of our parish family—enhancing our worship experience, creating more opportunities for our youth and young adults to grow in faith, and expanding our faith formation programs for parishioners of all ages. They are investments in our present and, more importantly, in the future of our parish.

​

We Have Reached Our Financial Goal, But We Still Need Your Participation This is the message I especially want to emphasize: Even though we have surpassed our financial goal, I sincerely encourage every parish family to participate in this campaign.

​

From the very beginning, I have said that the success of this campaign is not simply about how much money we raise, but about how many of us come together to take part in building the future of our parish.

​

We have achieved something remarkable financially, but I would love to see even greater participation from our parish family. After all, this is not a campaign of just a few generous families. This is OUR campaign, for OUR parish, and for OUR future.

​

If you have not yet participated, I personally invite you to consider doing so. No gift is too small, and no contribution is insignificant. Whether your gift is large or modest, what matters most is your willingness to be part of something that will benefit our entire parish community.

​

And if you are not in a position to make a financial contribution, please still be part of this campaign through your prayers. Your prayerful participation is equally valued and appreciated. I especially ask you to pray not only for the success of our fundraising efforts, but for the successful implementation of our Key Parish Investments. Raising the money is only the beginning. What truly matters is how these investments will strengthen our parish, enrich our faith, and serve the generations who will come after us.

​

I would love for every parish family to be able to say, in whatever way they participated, "I was part of that. I helped make that possible." We are all in this together. Each of us has something to offer, and each of us has a part to play. And when more of us participate, we strengthen not only the financial future of our parish, but also our sense of belonging, shared responsibility, and love for this community we call our spiritual home.

​

My hope is that when we look back on this campaign in the years to come, we will not simply remember that we exceeded our financial goal. Rather, we will see the fruits of what we accomplished together—a parish where our faith continues to grow, our young people find a spiritual home, and future generations experience the same love and sense of belonging that we cherish today.

​

We have already exceeded our financial goal. Now, let us work toward an even greater goal: bringing our entire parish family together in this shared mission. Together, we are not simply raising funds. We are sowing seeds of faith that, with God's grace, will bear fruit for generations to come.

​

Thank you once again for your generosity, your prayers, and your love for our parish.

With gratitude and prayers,
