Great Work!

06-30-2019Campaign News

Parish Family,

We are well on our way to the new buildings. With the first 205 pledges we have fulfilled and surpassed our first threshold. Great Work! Together with funding for school and parish space, we have also supported seminarian formation, Newman Center ministry, assistance to the poor and the growth of Catholic Education across the whole diocese. Now, we are ascending to our final goal of $4.4 million. In this phase, 100% of everything raised goes straight to our local parish project. We can be gratefully proud of this for many generations to come. Take joy in your offering as you lift up a part of what God has entrusted to you.

Witness Weekend

Special thanks to those parishioners who are speaking at all Masses this weekend to offer their support of the campaign. Please be sure to express our gratitude to them if you see them around town or at the parish. Not everyone likes public speaking so were are especially proud of those who said “yes.”

I have heard from many of you that you think a K-8 elementary school will be both an important step for our parish and also the entire community of Lake Havasu City. In addition to Catholic families, we know that there non-Catholic residents of Lake Havasu who are seeking the academic standards and the moral and ethical teachings that our school provides. As we come to the end of another successful academic year please help us spread the word this summer about our current school and plans for new construction!

Good News: Over 400 families have picked up their packets. Better News: Over 150 families have already pledged. Best news: We are just a few hundred dollars away from our first campaign milestone of $1,467,000

We will be holding Witness Weekends on May 25 and 26 and June 1 and 2. Parishioners who have already made their pledge will offer testimony about their campaign support. Campaign packets will be in the narthex for pick-up after all Masses on those 2 weekends.

Campaign Update Receptions are being planned for this summer so watch your mail and check the bulletin for more information. And...if your family would like to host a gathering please call the office (855-2685) and speak to Renee. Either Father Chauncey or Father Julius (or both!) will attend. This is a great, casual way to host friends and neighbors and enjoy some fellowship with our priests.

Special thanks to the 30 families who made their pledges this past week, putting us over 100 families who have already pledged!

Can YOU be one of the 30 families who make their pledge this coming week? At that pace we can hit our goal of 200 pledges by June 1st!

We are grateful for ALL gifts and 5-year pledges are especially helpful as you can stretch out the payments.

For example, a 5-year pledge of $3,600 is only $60 a month, which is just $2.00 a day. When you break a pledge down like that, it makes it pretty easy for most of us to participate. Think about it and… please continue to pray.

Pick up your campaign packet today in the Parish Office!

Over 70 parishioners have already made their campaign pledges and we are approaching $1.1 million raised thus far! We have had some wonderful gifts and special thanks to those of you who are including notes of encouragement with your pledge cards.

Many families have picked up their campaign packets and are still praying about what they can contribute. If you are one of those families...

NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE YOUR PLEDGE!

We encourage all parishioners to consider a 5-year pledge. Most families have told us that they find it is easier to be on a payment plan.

And…..if you have NOT picked up your families’ packet please stop the tables in the narthex after Mass this weekend. Our volunteers will assist you and answer any questions you may have.

As we begin the campaign we are asking each family to pray about a 5 year pledge. For most parishioners this is a manageable way to make a gift that fits into their budget and allows each family to plan ahead. About 90% of parishioners who pledge choose a monthly payment plan. We are hoping that every family would consider a “courageous pledge” and one that will help us build a new school, and a new outdoor gathering space.

Below is a chart that may assist in determining how to support our campaign:
