Stewards of our Spiritual Home

Last September, we launched the Stewards of Our Spiritual Home fundraising campaign focused on caring for the place where we gather to pray, grow in faith, and walk with Christ and one another.

We are pleased to share that the campaign has now concluded, having raised $123,770, including a generous $25,000 contribution from the Diocese of Hamilton. Thanks to your generosity, we exceeded our base goal of $100,000 and significantly replenished our depleted Building Fund.

These funds will strengthen our Building Fund and support the ongoing care of our parish facilities, helping us maintain a welcoming, safe, and vibrant spiritual home for current and future generations.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this effort through your prayers, encouragement, and financial support. Your generosity is a powerful expression of stewardship and love for our parish community.
