As many of you may be aware, last fall we launched the Diocese’s first statewide campaign: Christ Our Hope: Building a Vibrant Church. While the timing was not ideal, the campaign had been planned for nearly two years and delayed several times. With the support of several generous parishioners, it was determined that we needed to move forward. Last fall, $4.4 million was raised, getting us almost halfway to our goal. At the end of the pews you will find more information about our specific goals and a case statement about the overall campaign. This campaign offers a wonderful opportunity for Mary Queen of All Saints. Not only financially – 60% of the funds we raise comes back to us for our use to address specific parish needs, but as a larger Catholic community, together we will renew, strengthen and secure a future for the Catholic Church in Vermont. In the next few weeks you will receive a letter asking you to consider pledging a gift over the next three years. Whatever you can contribute will make a difference to our parish and the future of our Church in Vermont.
