Why Give to Ten Buck Sunday?

Thus far, I haven’t convinced enough parishioners to give to Ten Buck Sunday. Below, I will lay out my case for your participation.

Our Capital Campaign is a $5 million + plan for a state of the art Early Childhood Center. We want to bring more young families to our school and parish. We also want to free space currently used by the school and use it for parish ministries.

We can’t break ground until we show the Archdiocese that we have 1.) half the necessary monies in cash and 2.) the other half in pledges.

Currently, we have $500,000 in cash. We are embarking on a push to get 90 new pledges in 90 days. Pledges are paid over a 5 year period.

Ten Buck Sunday is an opportunity to raise much needed cash through small gifts from hundreds of givers. Everyone is capable of giving ten dollars.

We have over 2,000 people at our weekend Masses. If 800 gave ten dollars, we would raise $8,000 in a weekend. Multiply that by 12 weekends in a year! And giving $10 can be done through Faith Direct; Cash in the basket; or, by using the Dip Jars.

Please give next Sunday!!
