UPDATE on Our faith. our family. our future.
September 20, 2017
From the Desk of Father Dan:Thank you very much to every parishioner who has participated in the “Our Faith, Our Family, Our Future” capital and building campaign. To date, $3,373,230 has been pledged, which is 112 percent of our $3,000,000 goal! Again, thanks!!
Regarding the building campaign, the contract from Patock is being drafted and reviewed by our pro bono attorney. A first meeting was held on August 22nd. Revisions were made to the layout of the office renovations and a tentative timeline/schedule to build will be determined.
Regarding Catholic Education, all day meetings were conducted by the consultant from Partners in Mission on August 29th with various stakeholders at SMLS. An executive summary was prepared and an ad has been placed to hire a Director of Admissions and Advancement.
If you have yet to do your part by making a gift to the OFOFOF campaign, pledge forms are available at the doors of the Church.
Please join me in praying for the continued success of OFOFOF.
