Living Our Mission: Shaping Our Future Capital Campaign
These are exciting times at Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church and School! In the 10 years since the parish began work on its master plan, our church community has seen tremendous growth - not just in numbers, but also in ministries provided for the faithful and including our faith-filled, mission-driven parish school. CtR is now moving forward with the third phase of its master plan to accommodate amazing pastoral growth. To help address these needs, CtR is embarking on the Living Our Mission: Shaping Our Future Capital Campaign.
In coming weeks, all parishioners and school families will be receiving information about the campaign from the pulpit, through the mail, in the bulletin, at receptions and from parents, friends and other parishioners. We encourage all of our school families to learn more about the campaign and support our efforts to fulfill our mission at CtR. During the campaign, sacrificial gifts of prayer, volunteer time and stewardship are encouraged to ensure success for Living Our Mission: Shaping Our Future.
All school families will receive an invitation to attend one of a series of campaign receptions. At these receptions, the Rev. Sean Horrigan, Christ the Redeemer pastor, and members of the campaign committee will discuss various needs at our parish and how we, as a school community, can help support this important time at CtR and CtRCS. It's an opportunity to learn firsthand about the campaign, ask questions, receive campaign materials and meet with fellow parishioners and school families. Because this is a vital moment in the life of the parish, we ask that all families sacrifice their time to attend a reception.
If you have questions about the Living Our Mission: Shaping Our Future Capital Campaign or would like to volunteer at an upcoming reception, with campaign mailings or in other valuable ways, please contact Megan Dillingham or the Campaign Office. God bless CtR and CtRCS!
