UPDATE: Your Capital Campaign donations at Work | Phase II (increased security for Fellowship Hall, new library and gift shop, and renovation to our aging restrooms) is nearing completion! Notice the new tile in the Narthex, renovated upper and lower level bathrooms and grand staircase. This is all thanks to nearly 700 households who have pledged/donated funds to our Capital Campaign 2021. As of October 14, 2023, we have:
- $3,453,712.11 in total pledges and gifts
- $53,995.00 additional in total brick-paver donations
- $2,370,423.61 in total collected in cash
Our Legacy of Faith, Foundation for Our Future campaign is an opportunity to address our building and grounds needs. More importantly, to create a campus atmosphere where all parishioners can participate in community and grow spiritually.
Our goal is to raise $5.5 million from this campaign, and with a $2.7 million loan from the Diocese, we will be able to complete Phases II and III.
Please join us in prayerful consideration of the donation your family can give to make this effort a success. Please also take time to say our campaign prayer daily.
Campaign Prayer
Good and gracious God, we thank you for the abundant love and grace that you shower on our parish of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. We offer up all we are and all we do, for your greater glory and honor. Fill us, your humble stewards, with your goodness, generosity and love as we engage in this campaign to address the current and future needs of our growing parish family.
May your Holy Spirit keep our hearts and minds united in fidelity to the Church instituted by your Son. Strengthen our legacy of faith, to become a firm foundation for our future. We ask this through Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and your Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, pray for us!
