SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2023
Today at Immaculate Conception and St. Wenceslaus, we announce our capital campaign Welcoming Our Future in Faith. This $3.5 million campaign will improve our church and offices to ensure that we are accessible and welcoming to all. After more than 100 years of service, it is time to improve the entryway and church offices at Immaculate Conception to make our buildings inviting, efficient, and effective in serving our mission.
For almost two years, our parish and finance councils have come together to assess how we can steward our resources by addressing urgent infrastructure needs at the rectory and improving accessibility at Immaculate Conception and our shared offices. We also made great efforts to gather input and feedback from parishioners in both faith communities.
Earlier this year, a feasibility study was conducted to receive the thoughts and opinions of our parishioners about our future. Considering our options and the positive results of the study, and through much prayer and deliberation, Immaculate Conception and St. Wenceslaus embarked on our Welcoming Our Future in Faith Campaign.
The capital campaign looks toward the bright future of Immaculate Conception and St. Wenceslaus. With a successful campaign we will be able to:
- Increase accessibility for our growing communities
- Expand our functional office space to accommodate our current staff and meet future needs
- Improve the efficiency of our buildings
- Reflect our welcoming spirit
- Preserve our historic buildings
- Pass on the blessings we have received so that future generations can grow in their faith
Our capital campaign seeks your support in three ways:
- PRAY for the success of our campaign.
- PLEDGE a gift to our campaign.
- PARTICIPATE as a phone caller.
In the coming weeks, you will be learning more about Welcoming Our Future in Faith. Please keep your minds, hearts, and ears open to the message of our capital campaign.
