WHERE WE ARE ON OUR FAITH JOURNEY

We began our GIFT journey over two years ago.  After thousands of volunteer and staff hours, parishioner testimonials and the incredible outpouring of generosity from our parishioners, we today have achieved an incredible milestone along our journey.

To date, we have raised over $4.5 million of our $7 million goal from just over 1,300 families.  This makes the GIFT campaign the largest and most successful fundraising effort undertaken at St. Francis.

While we are on our way to our goal, we still have over 70% of our families who have not yet made a pledge.  It's not too late.  If you have not yet pledged,  please prayerfully consider making your pledge today and join us on this faith journey.

As we continue to raise and collect funds, I am pleased to announce that we are able to start the next phase of the project - The Building Phase.  It is my pleasure to introduce Bill Laxton, head of the Building Committee,  who will lead us in the next phase of our GIFT journey.  Click here to read his latest Building Phase update.

I would like to send a special thank you to all the volunteers and staff who have been instrumental in the initial phase of the GIFT Campaign.  Without your hard work, dedication and vision,  this would not be a success.  I am blessed to be part of this GIFT Campaign and look forward to seeing the project come to life.

Peace,

Peter Heffring, GIFT Campaign Chair
