Family of Faith Campaign

La Campagna per la Comunità di Fede

We are very glad to inform you that so far we have raised $39, 400 in pledges, which is 7%

of our total goal in order to achieve the following:

1. Upgrade our kitchen space in the Parish Hall;

2. Install two automatic door openers at the front entrance;

3. Hire a youth minister.

In the coming weeks, many of you will receive more information about the campaign by

mail. We invite all of our parishioners to be generous and be actively involved in the

Campaign. We kindly invite all who have already been given a pledge card to return the

filled-in card to the Parish office. We also invite to pick up a package from the Parish office

those who received a phone call.

Siamo felici di informarvi che finora abbiamo ricevuto adesioni per $39,400 cioè il 7%

dell’obiettivo totale che verrà utilizzato per:

1. Migliorare la cucina del nostro salone;

2. Installare due apri-porta automatici all’ingresso della chiesa;

3. Assumere un co-ordinatore per la pastorale giovanile.

Nelle prossime settimane molti di voi riceveranno ulteriori informazioni sulla campagna

tramite posta. Invitiamo tutti i nostri parrochiani a partecipare generosamente all’iniziativa.

Preghiamo inoltre coloro che hanno ricevuto la tessera d’adesione di riportarla compilata

nell’ufficio parrocchiale e quanti sono stati chiamati dall’ufficio parrocchiale di prelevare la

cartella “Family of Faith” dallo stesso ufficio.
