Dear Parishioners,
Again, we continue to have an excellent response to my challenge for a
$200,000 matching fund as the first part of the final phase of our capital campaign to fund the construction projects on the Emmaus and Queen of Angels campuses.
Our ultimate goal is little or no debt on these projects. My challenge to you is to join me in building the matching fund. I have made a $2,000 commitment. In response, we have received contributions and pledges ranging up to $20,000.
As of yesterday evening (Wed. 2/13) we have $130,600 for the match fund.
The is at 65% of my goal, and I thank all who have made a commitment. We have some distance to go to get to $200,000 for the match fund, but I know that many of us doing what we can will get us there, true stewardship.
In answer to questions asked, stock donations work also.
You can let us know what you can do by donating online or by contacting me at
pastor@emmausparish.org or by contacting our business administrator, Jane Heckler, at
business@emmausparish.org. You can also come by the parish office or phone us at 512-261-8500 or on the parish website at www.emmausparish.org/giving.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Samuel Hose
