Dear Friends,
Encountering Christ, strengthened by prayer, will allow us — in a spirit of stewardship and unity — to build a vibrant and secure future for the Diocese of Austin. St. Mary Parish will receive 30% of all funds collected up until our parish goal of $595,000. If we surpass our goal, we will receive 70% of the funds raised above the goal. With our 30% coming back to the parish, we will improve and upgrade our parish hall.
Please join Father Steve and your fellow parishioners at a reception after masses on April 21st and 22nd in the Ave Maria Building to learn more about the campaign and how you can contribute. You will be receiving materials in the mail that you can bring to the reception.ENCOUNTERING CHRIST CAMPAIGN GOALS:Diocese of Austin: $85,000,000
