Blessed Sacrament

 
Over the past weekend your Pastor has shared the details of the PERFECT FIT Capital Campaign, a combined effort between the sisters of the Mount Saint Benedict Monastery and the Diocese of Crookston.  This week during Mass we reviewed the project and goal of the campaign. You will be receiving additional information in the mail about the campaign this week if you have not already received it.
 This is a pivotal moment in the life of the Diocese, arguably the most important thing we have done together as a diocesan family since 1951 when the current Chancery was constructed.  Each of us can be a part of this important moment! Please reflect on the information and consider how you can support the PERFECT FIT campaign.

 Next weekend, as an entire parish, we will spend a few minutes making our pledge.  Our hope is to have every family makes a pledge to the campaign. Together we can create a center for faith and prayer that will serve Catholics across northwestern Minnesota for decades to come. 
 
The goal of the campaign is to raise $15 million; $12 million of which is to go toward the purchase of the Mount Saint Benedict campus, and $3 million towards the endowment fund. Our hope is to raise these funds over the next 3 years. With support from each family in our parish and diocese, we will reach our goal.
 
As your family prays and reflects on the level of your gift, please know that no one can tell another what to give but many families do ask for a guideline. Therefore, a Suggested Pledge Table is located on the pledge card that you will receive in the mail in the coming week. Please also remember that your capital campaign pledge is over and above whatever you contribute weekly or monthly now to the offertory collection. Please bring your pledge card back to next weekend's Mass.
