FATHER JIM'S JOTS - St. Elizabeth Church - Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time - October 27, 2024

St. Elizabeth Church

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

FR. JIM'S JOTS

As many of you know, we have been preparing to launch a parish-wide capital campaign to raise funds to build a new Parish Center.  Well, the time has come!  We received final approval from the diocese to move forward with the building project, so today I am announcing the start of our parish campaign called, "Our Campaign for Tomorrow."  Our goal is to raise a minimum of $500,000.

With the assistance of Greater Mission, a Catholic fund-raising firm, we are moving forward with the campaign.  It will move through several phases beginning with a Leadership phase, moving to Gathering and Participation phases.  Every household in our parish and some beyond will be asked for their support and to participate in a gathering.  The campaign will be based in prayer and asking for a best sacrifice.  Since we are asking for a best sacrifice, through the intercession of the Holy Spirit, all gifts will be confidential as the best sacrifice for every household is different.

We will keep everyone informed about the progress in each phase and when you are invited to participate in a gathering at someone's home or here at the parish, we hope you will make every effort to attend.  I cannot do this alone and have reached to a small group of parishioners to serve as a Campaign Cabinet, but even with their help, it is your help, participation and generosity that will help us reach our goal.

More information regarding the start of this phase of "Our Campaign for Tomorrow" can be found HERE.  All information regarding the Capital Campaign will be archived on our website.  To view any of this information and the prayer for the campaign, please visit:  stelizcc.org/our-campaign-for-tomorrow/

Blessings to you and yours,

Fr. Jim Arsenault
