IGNITE Capital campaign

 

The Archdiocesan Capital Campaign, IGNITE, is a wonderful opportunity for us all to support the Cardinal in his efforts to meet the many significant areas of need that are necessary to continue to spread the Word of God.

It has been six years since we last ran a campaign in our parish and the monies raised allowed us to build our beautiful Ave Maria Parish Life Center.  Our parish still holds a debt of about $2.2 million from our initial cost of $15.9 million. By achieving our IGNITE goal of $4.9 million, our parish will be able to reduce our debt by an additional $44,943 per month. This will allow us to completely pay off our debt two years early (early 2021)!  This reduction of debt will most directly benefit St. Laurence’s many outreach ministries to help those less fortunate, and enhance our parish community, worship, faith formation, and ministries.

As of January 6, 2020, we have pledged over $3,466,973 (70.71% to goal!) from 909 (12.79% participation) families! Thank you to those who have already made their sacrifice to this campaign; however, as Fr. Drew mentioned Commitment Weekend, we are asking everyone to be "ALL IN." If you have not made a gift, please visit the online giving page to make your contribution today!"

 

As we continue to spread the word about this campaign, please direct any questions to:

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 170 years of living and
witnessing to that faith in 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.
