What is being asked of our parish?

Every parish in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is asked to participate in the IGNITE: Our Faith, Our Mission campaign. The active phases of the campaign will run from July 2018 through June 2020 .  Each parish will conduct its campaign in one of four blocks within that time-frame. Parishes conducting a Good Faith Effort agree to participate in the campaign as designed by our counsel, Guidance In Giving, Inc., in order to reach their established financial goal.  Please visit the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston website for more information and updates about this campaign.

• A parish conducting a Good Faith Effort campaign will retain 33% of the monies raised up to the IGNITE goal and 67% of the funds collected over the goal.

• This goal is NOT an assessment but rather, an objective for every parish to achieve based on their potential.

† God our Father, you are the source of all goodness and of every blessing under heaven. We give you praise and thanks for the gift of our Catholic faith and for more than 150 years of living and witnessing to that faith in Eastern Texas. We ask for your blessings upon our effort to help secure the future of the Church in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. May your people respond with hope and generosity to our capital campaign, IGNITE: Our Faith, Our Mission. May the sacrifices we make together today bear fruit in lives of faith for generations to come. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. †
