TOWNHALL MEETING

St. Francis de Sales Parish

What began humbly with a small church built in

honor of St. Francis de Sales by Fr. Jean Baptiste

Lamy has grown into a vibrant, dedicated,

community of faith that would make our founding

members proud. As those that came before us

were able to address the needs of our growing

parish to continue its mission to “Make Disciples,

and Disciple Makers”, we cannot forget to

remember that it is our responsibility and privilege

to continue this mission of St. Francis de Sales for

generations to come.

O ALMIGHTY AND ETERNAL GOD

WHO ENTRUSTED ST. FRANCIS DE SALES CATHOLIC CHURCH WITH THE MISSION

OF “MAKING DISCIPLES AND DISCIPLE MAKERS,”

WE TURN TO YOU WITH GRATEFUL HEARTS FOR WHAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US

AND WITH GREAT ANTICIPATION FOR WHAT IS YET TO BE.

BLESS US AS WE WORK TO STRENGTHEN THE FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH

INSPIRED BY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR PARISH.

PLEASE GUIDE US, STRENGTHEN US, AND BLESS US WITH YOUR PRESENCE DURING THIS TIME OF GROWTH.

GIVE US EACH A SENSE OF MISSION,

A SPIRIT OF COOPERATION,

AND A GENEROUS HEART,

AS WE WORK TO GROW AND PRESERVE OUR PARISH FOR OUR IMMEDIATE NEEDS

AND THE NEEDS OF THE FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME.

AMEN

The Cost of Great ThingsMaggie Wright, Director of Accounting and Development

The Cost of Great Things

Phase I—St. Francis Family Center

Phase II—School Lamy Renovation

$ 2,000,000.00 Combined

Phase III — Deferred Maintenance Needs $ 700,000.00

Phase III — Maintenance Reserve Fund $ 300,000.00

Total of All Projected Cost $3,000,000.00

The Cost of Great Things

The total cost of all three Phases is $3 million dollars. We want to start Phase I

in the winter and Phase II in the spring using the generous gift of our

anonymous donor and conduct a capital campaign in winter through spring

for Phase III. Parish building projects rarely receive gifts like we have received.

We are so BLESSED. We pray that this gift inspires all of us as parishioners to

make our own gifts so we can fund our growth for the present, future and

preserve the past.

The generations of faithful Catholics before us provided a Church and Parish we can be proud of —-now it is our turn.
