Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Holy Cross Parish has about 3,400 registered households and the campaign’s goal is approximately $4.9 million, so why don’t we ask each household to donate $1,450? Why am I asked to consider a greater amount?
Simply put, successful campaigns don’t achieve their goals through mathematical fundraising. Our parish is like most, 80% of parish support comes from 20% of the parish. Numerous parish households have a weak connection and don’t support the parish. That is why evangelization and outreach are so important!
A goal of $4.9 million cannot be reached without a number of substantial pledges and others at lesser levels. Some parishioners may have greater resources than others. The important thing is that our gift reflect a spirit of sacrifice in thanksgiving to God.
We are attempting to approach every family in the next couple of months. A gift amount is suggested for each household to prayerfully consider. No judgment is made on the level of gift you or others make. The specific gift request is based on our goal and meant to provide a frame of reference for each family’s participation. Give Back to the Lord in Thanksgiving seeks equal sacrifices, not equal gifts.
God Bless you abundantly through Mary,
Fr. Parker
