On
Thursday evening, August 24, 2006, a broad cross section of
Holy Angels leadership and other interested parishioners met
to enlist volunteers to lead the forthcoming Capital Campaign.
The full title of the initiative is Legacy
for Our Mission: For our Children and the Future.
A representative of the consulting firm for this campaign, RSI
Church Stewardship Group, along with our pastor,
Father Kenneth Taylor, co-led the meeting. The purpose of this
campaign is to fund both Archdiocesan and Parish ministries
through a program of giving over the next 3 years.
As pointed out
by Father Taylor, Holy Angels is in an excellent position to
enter into this campaign. Over the past year, we have participated
in programs like New Beginnings, Growing Stewards, and most
recently Appreciative Inquiry, to discern
and develop our passions for ministry at Holy Angels. Father
Taylor noted that he sees our good works in these initiatives
coming together through Legacy for Our Mission. Funds collected
through individual parishes will be shared between Archdiocesan
and parish-developed ministry needs.
Attendees signed
up for many of the leadership responsibilities for this program.
There is a rather short time line from these initial meetings
until the commitment phase of the campaign. More information
will be forthcoming in the weeks ahead.
