Building a Future of Hope Campaign

Although the active phase of the Building a Future of Hope Campaign ended this past June, the good work of the Campaign continues. Be sure to check this section of the Bulletin weekly for information on how your stewardship is making a difference in our community and beyond. This week’s spotlight is on Community Catholic Center.

“Charity may be a short word, but with its tremendous meaning of pure love, it sums up man’s entire relation to God and to his neighbor.” – St. Aelred of Rievaulx

In addition to Community Catholic, St. Vincent de Paul and Hand in Hand Ministries, proceeds from the St. Agnes Building a Future of Hope Campaign will benefit a Sister Parish. Because the relationship with our Sister Parish will extend beyond the end of the Campaign, the BFOH Selection Committee is following a deliberate and thorough process to ensure the selected Parish is a good fit with St. Agnes. Please keep the BFOH Selection Committee in your prayers as they deliberate and consider this important choice. For more information on the Building a Future of Hope Campaign or Community Catholic Center, you can contact BFOH Follow-Up Leaders, John Schmidt, Greg Metzger or Melissa Metzger.
