Thanks to 265 households who participated!
We have reached 86% of our goal, raising $648,305 for the Paulist Fathers!
The end of April marked the culmination of the public phase of Hope for the Future, a Comprehensive Campaign for the Paulist Fathers. Thanks to the generosity of over 2,700 donors – spanning 40 states (and counting), the District of Columbia and four countries – the campaign has raised $30.2 million in pledges and gifts! To date, over $18 million has already been collected in gifts and pledge payments.
Here at Newman Hall-Holy Spirit Parish, 265 households contributed $648,305 for the campaign! Whether you supported the campaign financially, through prayer, or both – THANK YOU! And a special thank you to those who served on our local campaign committee, serving as ambassadors for us Paulists!
This historic effort has funded construction of the Paulist House of Mission and Studies, our new, right-sized seminary in Washington D.C. This building – slated to open in late summer with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony in the fall – will also house several Paulist ministries.
The campaign has helped shore up support for senior Paulists, providing them with a comfortable retirement. Additionally, we’re able to address deferred maintenance at Paulist-owned buildings across the country, especially at our Motherhouse in New York City. Lastly, many outreach ministries like the Paulist Press, Busted Halo and St. Patrick’s American Catholic Church in Rome will be bolstered.
This campaign has truly given us Paulists Hope for the Future!
