thoughts As we begin the next phase of our campaign
We have arrived at the end of the first phase of our campaign to build our Church for the Ages. We have blown away nearly everyone’s expectations, having raised over $22 million so far. I am both proud and awed by your response of faith.
This is “Last Call” for pledges. If you’ve lost your pledge card, no problem. I've added a pledge link here. Remember, every pledge is sacred. Like the widow’s mite, no amount is too small. What’s important is that you participate at some level. And if all you can offer right now is prayer, that too is needed! You can even pledge prayer on the online pledge card. Please join your parish family, to the extent that you can, to Restore the Sacred and Build the Future.
We are now in the design development phase. This phase refines the designs you have seen to a point where the contractors are able to provide accurate and detailed estimates based on current and projected costs of materials and labor.
Everyone knows that prices of everything have been going up. I can’t promise you what the final price of this project will be, but I CAN promise two things:- I have no interest in what they call “value engineering” this project. That is, stripping away all the elements which actually make it a Church for the Ages. That’s NOT what we are sacrificing for.
- If we ever arrive at a point where the cost gets so high that we decide we just can’t pull it off, I will return every penny you paid. This is not a government project where they just move the money from building a bridge to fixing potholes. We either build a church unlike anything that has been built here for a century or you get your money back. That, I CAN promise you along with my ineffable gratitude for your prayers and support on this generational effort.
