In the spring of 2016, the Diocese conducted a survey of priests and lay leaders from local parishes to identify ways to strengthen the vital partnership between the Diocese and its local parishes. From the study, it was clear the Diocese needs to bolster programs that directly support the parishes, and provide for the security of the Diocese into the next generation.
To fulfill this need, the Diocese is embarking on the ambitious Our Church, Our Legacy campaign to create an endowment of $15 million. The Diocese will not have direct access to the principal of the endowment, but rather will receive an annual distribution to support specific programs in the following areas:
Education of the Faithful
to expand the horizons of our community by supporting the education of clergy and staff and developing best practice courses and technology for local parishes to use
Communication
to broaden access and participation, help connect parishes in a digital community and expand digital programming
Ministries & Outreach
to secure a spiritual presence in our society by conducting workshops, developing mission parishes, supporting pastoral care of vulnerable segments of society, train outreach participants and strengthen inter-church relations
Securing the Future
to inspire the upcoming generation by funding Diocesan camp scholarships, youg adult leadership conferences, academic scholarships, clergy sabbatical funds, parish youth ministry programs and youth pilgrimages to Armenia
Clergy Support Fund
to show an appreciation for a life of service and relieve some of the burden of local parishes by providing guidance on retirement planning, helping to provide a comfortable living after servicing
Diocesan Operations & Maintenance Fund
to preserve our presence by providing a safety net for unforeseen events providing a well-maintained Diocesan Complex to support local parishes
Cultural Experience Fund
to fund innovative programs in music, art and lectures
The Diocese needs your help. We have already secured major donations toward our goal of $15 million, but we are hoping to inspire a broad participation to help us make the transition into this new paradigm.
So please consider making a generous contribution to the endowment campaign. We deeply appreciate your stewardship of our church. Our parishes–and our children and grandchildren–will be the ultimate beneficiaries of your foresight and commitment.
