Dear Friends in Christ,

This is our time to dream and build big for the benefit of our children. Those before us, including your family, actively and sacrificially contributed to build up our community. We are them!

I am pleased to announce the launch of our parish’s Called to Renew campaign.  This campaign will fund maintenance and improvements needed for our future as, like our facility, many of the Archdiocese churches are 60- 70 years old.

In consultation with parish leaders, we have established an enhanced goal of $900,000. Fifty percent (or $292,500) of all funds received up to $585,000 and 100% of all funds received over $585,000 will remain in our parish to address our local needs.  Our future rests in the faith and fellowship formation of our community. 

We are a great school and church with many faith-filled and vibrant ministries and groups. Your generosity will let us build and maintain what these programs need to flourish and remain relevant. Two of our greatest needs are science and technology labs for the school and adequate gathering rooms for different ministries and church organizations. We also want to add a permanent multipurpose outdoor facility for outdoor Masses as held during the pandemic and other activities. As we continue to empower our parishioners, it is important that as a parish, we grow to meet the needs of our school and important ministries and organizations.

We will accomplish this because God is Good….all the time! I ask each of you to prayerfully discern how you can most generously support this campaign. We will each have a five-year period to pay our pledge. As your pastor and fellow parishioner, I will also make a sacrificial pledge. Let us show our gratitude to God whose generosity towards us is boundless. 

Peace in Christ,

Rev. Sebastian Vettickal
