Our Building to Grow, Growing to Serve Capital Campaign is developing nicely. 

We just recently produced a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document for the campaign effort. Soon we will share it with our parish families and place a copy on our website. This document answers key questions about our projects and the campaign, which many of you raised during the planning study.  

Also, to help answer questions, we will host two town hall meetings. Both gatherings will feature architect, Dante Domenella who will present, in detail, our project plans. Join us this Sunday May 22 at 3 p.m. or Wednesday, May 25 at 7 p.m. in the church foyer. We will have copies of the FAQ document available there too.  

We are also in the process of inviting many parishioners to serve as volunteers in the campaign that will officially kick off in June. It’s only with a good, large network of committed volunteers that our campaign will be successful for St. Bernard.

I am pleased and thankful with the progress to date. I expect to continue to advance our campaign preparation in the coming weeks.

Preparations for our Building to Grow, Growing to Serve Capital Campaign continue to move along. 

This week we added a campaign logo, which you can see above. We’ll use it on our campaign correspondence and materials. 

We are also excited and pleased to announce that Corinne Cirillo, Rob Martin and Kurt Mikuta accepted invitations to serve as our campaign general chairs.  Each is dedicated to St. Bernard and committed to driving a successful campaign. I look forward to working with them and encourage you to welcome and thank them for their willingness to serve our parish. 

As a reminder, I encourage you to attend one of our upcoming town hall meetings featuring architect Dante Domenella who will present, in detail, our project plans.  Join us Sunday May 22 at 3 p.m. or Wednesday, May 25 at 7 p.m. in the church foyer.

Together we will continue Building to Grow, Growing to Serve St. Bernard for all here and those to come.

We are continuing to move forward with the capital campaign for our church. 

In the coming weeks and months, we will continue to update you on ways to be involved and help with the effort. 

This week we are pleased to announce our theme for the effort: Building to Grow, Growing to Serve. 

This theme projects our mission to build and grow the church. Our growth is not just mortar and concrete, but also growing our outreach of faith. We want to continue to grow, together as we undertake this effort and beyond.  

All parish members are invited to attend either of two town hall meetings at which our architect, Dante Domenella, will present the project plans in detail with an opportunity for discussion. The town hall meeting will be held on Sunday afternoon, May 22 at 3:00 pm and repeated on Wednesday, May 25 at 7:00 pm. Both meetings will be held in the church foyer.  

Our faith calls upon us to serve our Lord, our community, and each other. Together we will continue to build St. Bernard to fulfill that calling.
