Congratulations to everyone! We launched our parish’s campaign on hehalf of the Diocese’s Our Faith – Our Hope fundraising initiative on October 30. In the weeks since then, the response from St. Augustine’s has been amazing.
Under the leadership of Everett Fleming and his Campaign Team (Mary McLean, Carol Burke and Leslie Saffrey) we have exceeded our goal of $210,000 by raising $295,895, a whopping 41% above the goal (figures as of Dec.31). In addition to supporting the work of the Diocese in many areas, this will mean over $148,000. will be coming back to St. Augustine’s over the next five years. This would not have been possible without the diligence of our visiting and phoning teams as well as all of you who have made a one-time gift or a pledge. The participation rate at St. Augustine’s was one of the highest in the Diocese, and our reaching a 141% of our goal makes us one of the most successful of the 115 parishes in block 3. Well done!
