WHAT IS THE GIFT CAMPAIGN?

It is a dedicated giving program designed to meet St. Francis’ current and future structural needs. The plan provides for phased growth, addressing our most important needs first, as determined by our parishioners. Every detail of this building campaign is designed to meet our priorities. Above all, the GIFT Campaign calls on all parishioners to give sacrificially so we—and future generations—can grow in faith together.

“Lord, what do you want me to do?”
As Francis asked this question, so have we. For the parish to continue its founding mission during the next 25 years, we must respond now to the real and urgent needs of our community. Prioritized needs guide our building initiatives, initiatives that allow us to be a welcoming community, to give a physical home to social justice outreach, to nurture parish vitality by passing on our faith, to create smaller spaces where we can listen to God, and to grow in faith—leaving a legacy for future generations.

In light of our financial needs, hundreds of listening sessions, and two years of study, parish leadership councils have unanimously recommended the GIFT Campaign. The Diocese has approved our plans.  Your participation in the GIFT Campaign will make the difference in allowing us to fulfill and increase our commitment to the community. Reaching our goal depends on each of us. As you can see from the fundraising plan below, GIFT contributions make up the largest portion of our $13 million campaign goal. Your gift is essential. Thank you for your support.
