My Lord & My God: Now and For the Future
One campaign, two purposes:
Now: SMM Stewardship Drive for 2024 | The Future: My Lord and My God, a 3-year pledge
Pastor’s Letter:
My brothers and sisters,
God has great things planned for SMM! I ask you to pray daily: Lord, what do You want to do for Your SMM parish through me?
In the last eight years, we have built our beautiful church, constructed a gym, remodeled the parish kitchen, and modernized the school campus. These concrete testaments show our belief that Jesus Christ truly dwells among us. These efforts cost $8.5 million, of which $3.5 million is still owed to the Archdiocese.
The primary goal of this new campaign is to pay down the loan and demonstrate to the Archdiocese that we are capable of supporting our parish. We are committing 2/3 of the My Lord and My God: Now and For the Future funds to pay down the loan; the remaining 1/3 will cover immediate capital projects. If we achieve the Transformation Goal of $5.5m in the next three years, then we can pay off the $3.5m loan and save – almost a million – in interest payments.
May God guide us in giving back to Him as He generously gives to us.
Yours in Christ,
Father Hans Olson, pastor
