The launch of this effort also brings to light some common questions. Here are a few worth addressing:
Question: How did you come up with my request amount?
Answer: The amounts are based on a number of factors, including giving history and answers shared in the planning study. Our goal is to challenge everyone to consider supporting St. Peter in a meaningful and sacrificial way, in a manner that works for each family.
Question: Who is being asked to support the campaign?
Answer: Every registered parish family will be asked to participate in the campaign.
Question: Why should I/we consider supporting the campaign?
Answer: Throughout the bible we are reminded that we have been called by the Lord to build His kingdom.
“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58.
This project doesn’t fall on the shoulders of one family or a few. It is the responsibility of everyone at St. Peter to hear God’s call and to continue to grow His ministry. The obligation rests with everyone to do their part to raise the necessary funding. We all need to identify and make sacrificial and meaningful donations to ensure the campaign is a success.
Question: Will my pledge be legally binding? Will it be confidential?
Answer: A pledge is not legally binding, but it is a gift which you consider to be meaningful. We ask that you do your best to fulfill your pledge and advise the parish of any financial changes that will impact your commitment. All pledges will be kept confidential.
To live out our mission and grow together, we must ensure our spaces meet today’s needs and prepare for the future. This campaign is about more than buildings; it’s about creating spaces where ministries thrive, students grow, and parishioners connect in faith. Investing now will keep St. Peter a welcoming home for generations. The campaign will be completed in two phases to address the most pressing needs of our parish while preparing for future growth.
ADA-compliant entrance to the gym/parish center. Access to parish and school events are challenging for those with mobility issues. | Upgrade the HVAC system in the school building. The window units are noisy, distracting, and inefficient with temperature control. | Reconstruction of the Adams parking lot. This lot endures heavy use from events like St. Peterfest, parking for parish activities, CYC sports, and daily school use for recess and PE. |
Upgrade school restrooms to provide modern and accessible facilities. The school restrooms are outdated, with aging fixtures and limited accessibility. | Transform current rectory into more office and ministry spaces. Our parish is in desperate need of more meeting and office space. | This provides our priests with a private living space while freeing up the rectory for meeting and office renovations. |
Kevin and Maria BaszisWe are deeply grateful to the 140 volunteers whose inspiring leadership and dedication to our Casting Wide Our Nets capital campaign bless the future of St. Peter.
