Thank you to everyone who has participated (or plans to participate) in our Capital Campaign through pledges, prayers, or both. Our goal, throughout this project, has been to build-up our community, to strengthen the personal connections that unite us together as a parish family, and to provide new ways to grow closer to Christ Jesus. Please join me in praying for God’s continued blessings on our parish. -- Fr. Dave
Exciting Updates for our Capital Campaign: We currently have raised over $4.4 million dollars in pledges and over $3.6 million in cash. The past eight weeks I have contacted many parishioners who have not paid on their pledges for several months and requested they contact me to confirm whether they are going to be able to continue their pledge payments. Many have confirmed they will continue, while a few have needed to discontinue their pledge and we are still waiting on some folks to let us know. If we lay out the cost increases from Sullivan Builders of $57,436, plus the additional expenses of furniture, religious items for the adoration chapel and appliances for the kitchenette of $50,000 for a total increase of $107,436. Add this to the balance of needed pledges and this is $156,476. If you are asking yourselves if we can complete this very soon, YES, WE CAN!! Two weeks ago we had had another generous parishioner come forward to offer an additional pledge of up to $30,000 of matching funds, for any new pledges or pledge increases. This could bring an additional $60,000 to the Campaign! We have received $5,872 in new pledges and increases so with the matched pledge, this is $11,744 total off the balance of $156,476, for a total of $144,732 as of this week.
If you can make a new pledge or an additional pledge increase, please remember to call 614-866-2859 or email John Beyer jbeyer@spxreynoldsburg.com to let me know so I can add these to our numbers. If you do so through Faith Direct, please let me know this also.
The entire Phase II project is focused on building-up our parish: as a community of friendship with Christ, and as a communion of faith in Christ, with every person valued, and every family involved.
We are extremely proud and thankful for all of you that have made a pledge and continue to honor this commitment to St. Pius X Church & School by continuing to pay on your pledge until it is completed.
.From all the Staff here at St. Pius X, Father Dave, and I, thank-you and God Bless!
