Thank you for considering a donation to our "Faith in Our Future" Campaign. Your donation will help to fund the important St. Mary's Chapel and Learning Resource Center additions to our St. Joseph's Elementary and St. Mary's Academy Middle School. The new Chapel will help us had on the Faith to our children, both at our parish school and our Wednesday night Religious Education. And the Learning Resource Center will include a library, technology resources, and small group study rooms that will benefit both our school and parish.
In addition, this campaign will fund needed repairs and updates to our parish campus including new carpet, new rectory windows, and a hearing loop system for those people with hearing loss.
We ask that everyone who donates to fill out a pledge card. This will help us to know the full extent of your donation.

Project will be Up for Rebid in the winter
St. Joseph Building Committee had a Bid Opening for the St. Mary’s Chapel/Learning Resource Center on Wednesday, June 30th. After review of bids, the committee decided not to accept the bids offered. It is the intention to do a rebid of the school project in the winter of 2021-22 when typical bidding atmosphere is more favorable.

Campaign Goal Reached!
-
As many of you know, over the last few months our Parish has been involved in a capital fund raising effort called the Faith in Our Future campaign.
Throughout the campaign, I have been very proud of our church family: for your responsiveness and for how supportive you've been.
Over the weeks, over 100 individuals or couples volunteered countless hours of their time to help make our campaign a success. And because people's time is perhaps more precious than any other resource today, we are especially grateful to them.

I would also like to thank all of the donors who have contributed to our St. Mary's Academy Chapel and Learning Resource Center project in our previous campaign, and to the over 400 donors to date in the Faith in our Future campaign.
I am pleased to announce, that so far, through our collective efforts, this 2nd Faith in Our Future campaign has added an additional $2.5 million in cash and pledges! Thus, we have with both of our campaigns a combined success of $3.2 million. So please accept my heartfelt thanks for all that you have done to assure the success of both our campaigns.
Fr. Wilhelm

Your continued support is appreciated
We are truly excited to have our met goal. But we are still dependent on people fulfilling their pledges. Also, if you haven't made a pledge, it is not too late for you to contribute to our projects. Funds beyond our goal will be used to offset any rising costs as well as set up a maintenance fund for the Chapel and Learning Resource Center.
To add your contribution or to fulfill your pledges, please contact our parish office at 701-662-7558 or click the buttons near the top of this page for a printable pledge card and online donation options.
