We have raised $4.4 million thus far which is quite amazing given all the challenges we faced. Many of our parishioners have not made a gift yet and asked us to follow-up this year. Parishes that promoted a specific project and had volunteers make calls were the most successful. Remember, you are not asking for a specific gift amount, only calling to make sure the mailing was received and to answer questions. This also provides you with the opportunity to check on your community and offer help and support. https://www.christourhopevt.org
Thank you to all parishioners who helped us kick-off the first year of the Christ Our Hope Campaign with their donations and pledges. It has been a very tough year for so many and while supporting the campaign, we know that so many have also been reaching out to the homebound, the hungry and those affected by the Covid-19 virus. Both parishes together reached about 13% of our combined target. Pledges are faithfully being fulfilled and hopefully we will be able to extend our support through the next two years. Great appreciation is extended to the parish volunteers who spent many weeks calling parishioners to explain the goals of the campaign and answering questions about its purpose.
