Capital Campaign news
Dear Parishioners,
After weeks of preparation, we are getting closer to the parish-wide kickoff of our campaign, Celebrating our Faith – Continuing our Vision. Within the next few weeks, every family in the parish community will receive a packet of information including a brochure detailing the campaign goals and building projects, as well as a letter from me which includes a financial request and instructions on how you can invest in the future of Presentation.
In advance of the mailing, I want to express several thoughts regarding this campaign and what is being asked of our families:- Invitation not Expectation
- Reflect and Pray
- Shared Responsibility It is the responsibility of the entire community to ensure this effort is a success. Every gift will make a significant impact on the future of Presentation.
Please continue to keep our parish in your prayers and ask God’s blessing upon us.
Many Blessings,
Fr. Tom

campaign goals
The campaign planning study indicated that our parish can raise between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. We will address our needs in a tiered approach:
$4 million Celebration Goal
Reaching this milestone allows us to fund projects in both the school and the church. First, we will complete the two-story school addition. Once the classrooms have been relocated to the addition, we will be able to reconfigure the current gathering space and Mulligan Room to create a more open and welcoming gathering space, create a new Mulligan Room, and increase seating capacity in the church.
$5 million Challenge Goal
At this milestone, we will be able to renovate the former classrooms into parish meeting space. We will also relocate the school’s administrative offices to the north side of the complex, resulting in one secure school entrance.
$6 million Vision Goal
After fulfilling the first two campaign milestones, reaching this goal will allow us to enlarge and upgrade the parish/cafeteria kitchen. The final project of this campaign with be to enclose the school courtyard into an indoor educational and meeting space for school and parish use.
