CAPITAL CAMPAIGN FAQ

  • WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE CAMPAIGN? +

    The Generations of Faith Capital Campaign is the most ambitious undertaking in the history of St. Anne Catholic Community.  This is a critical moment in developing the future of our community where we have an opportunity to come together to make a transformational impact for our current and future generations.

    The three priorities of the capital campaign are the new commons building, a community center with expanded ministry facilities and a parking garage, and renovation of the athletic fields.

    The goals of the campaign are to:

      • Enhance the Parish’s ability to serve everyone in our diverse community,
      • Chart a course to make St. Anne Catholic School a great 21st-century Catholic school and among the highest ranked private schools in the region, and
      • Take better advantage of the footprint of St. Anne Catholic Community.

    Our vision for this campus is to reinforce our values of being a welcoming, caring, inclusive and warm community with a strong Catholic identity while accommodating growth and accessibility. We aim to retain the beauty and spirit of St. Anne. Capital campaigns are about more than buildings.  

  • HOW ARE WE INVITING MORE FAMILIES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CAMPAIGN? +

    Campaign leaders and volunteers are reaching out to every family in the parish and school to encourage stronger participation in the campaign. No matter the amount, every gift makes a difference and inspires others to offer their support. We are using all available channels to invite people to get involved, including mailings, personal visits, events and gatherings, social media, in-pew appeals, and email messages through FlockNote.

  • IN WHAT WAYS WILL PARISH FAMILIES BENEFIT FROM THE NEW FACILITIES? +

    In addition to school students and families, it is our hope that everyone in the parish will enjoy the benefits of the new facilities. The Community Center includes multipurpose rooms for expanded ministry space, as well as a new garage for improved availability and accessibility of parking on campus. The Commons Building can accommodate large crowds for events and gatherings, including Masses on Christmas and Easter. The new fields will be available for use by our youth, young adults, and other parish groups. The capital projects underway will make our parish a more hospitable and welcoming place for all of our parishioners and for those we serve.

  • WHAT IF I ALREADY GIVE THROUGH THE OFFERTORY OR THE SCHOOL’S ANNUAL FUND? +

    A capital campaign is a special opportunity to offer extraordinary support over and above your usual charitable giving. This is a historic moment for our parish and everyone is encouraged to prayerfully consider making a gift that reflects your commitment to the future of St. Anne.

  • HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE? CAN I PLEDGE OVER TIME? +

    Our campaign offers a wide range of gift opportunities to participate at all levels. You may choose a plan that provides you with both flexibility and a three-year period to complete the payment of your pledge. If you would like to change the pledge timeframe, please contact the parish office directly.

  • HOW WAS A SUGGESTED PLEDGE AMOUNT DETERMINED? +

    We base our requested pledge amounts on past giving histories and information provided during the campaign assessment. We ask that you consider a gift above your normal support.

  • WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DO NOT REACH OUR GOAL? +

    Our expectation is, of course, to meet or surpass the goal. If that doesn’t happen, the pastor and the parish finance council will meet to determine how to cover the shortfall.
