STRETCHING Towards Our Stretch Goal: $5 Million
Many thanks to all those who continue to make sacrifices to financially support as well as pray for the success of our capital campaign!
Next steps:
+ Novena to the Infant Jesus of Prague
Please plan on participating in our parish novena to the Infant Jesus November 1st-9th. The Infant Jesus was the greatest treasure of the Holy Family and so we will together celebrate the beauty of the Christ Child bringing God’s Love to our world starting on the Solemnity of All Saints. Our intention is that God’s Providence will bless our capital campaign with all the resources we need to fully fund this exciting project to better enable us to do the work of the Gospel. May the Infant Jesus inspire all of our hearts to sacrificial generosity!
+ Town Hall Meeting to Review Draft Building Plans
Mark your calendar for Sunday, November 17th, 12:30-1:30 PM, in Kattar Hall (lower level of Holy Family Academy). We will go over the architects' designs for what our facility may look like and answer questions. These plans won’t be finalized until after soliciting input from our neighbors, the city’s approval process, and assurance of the funds needed to complete it. Exciting to see the dream take shape!
This past weekend those who attended Saturday evening Mass needed to keep their jackets on as it was pretty chilly in church. The following morning you could have been in short-sleeves and raised tropical plants! This is because we need approximately $100k of HVAC improvements in church. Please don’t think this campaign is just a school project—it has plenty of practical aspects that will benefit every member of our community! We are blessed with so many children and young adults in our parish!
So, why do we need to keep raising funds to reach our stretch goal of $5 million?We need much better facilities to handle programs designed to support spiritual growth and to all parishioners feel at home and appreciated here:
- The Nazareth House living room gets over-crowded quickly and the basement rec room could be rented out as the setting for a scary movie!
- We also hope to create a kid-friendly area downstairs adjoining Fr. Moorman Hall to move some of the high-energy into a dedicated space for everyone’s benefit. They can’t pay for a better facility themselves—but they are our future!
- I can’t count how many parishes would pay whatever it takes to see nuns return to their churches! We are already blessed that the Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus will come to serve our community starting next summer. Won’t you show your gratitude by helping with the $250k that we need to dedicate to the renovation of the 18 bedroom convent where they will live?
