Faith In Our FutureCapital Campaign

• Blessed Trinity Parish
• Sheboygan Falls, WI
• 2009-2012

2
Faith In Our Future

• An experience of Biblical Stewardship within the
  Catholic community
• Not the amount or even the thought of time,
  talent or treasure
• but
• the conversion experience that reminds us
  everything we have is a gift from God and
  originates with and belongs to God

3
Not equal gifts,but equal sacrifice.

• Biblical Stewardship
• Sacrificial giving
• The goal of biblical stewardship is to reach the
  tithing practice
• A tithing (the first tenth) of ones time, talent
  and treasure given back to God

Faith In Our Futureat Blessed Trinity Parish

• Religious Education and Lifelong Faith Formation
• Blessed Trinity Religious Education
• Saint Marys Parochial School
• Catholic School and Religious Education in the
  Archdiocese of Milwaukee

5
Archdiocesan benchmark

• One years income (envelopes and offertory
  collections) over three years
• Continue regular donations to parish, CSA and
  global collections
• 60 stays in parish
• 40 goes to Faith in Our Future Trust to be used
  for parish, global and archdiocesan needs

6
Blessed Trinitys Goal

• Twice the recommended benchmark of one years
  collection and envelope income over a three-year
  period
• Why? Our buildings are at an age where critical
  maintenance is required and we need to expand our
  current educational programs to meet needs of the
  future
• What? 960,322 of which 648,218 stays here

7
Case 1Church and School Infrastructure

• Our Church building is 43 years old
• No major repairs or interior painting have been
  done to this point
• It is necessary to update several areas
• The school building needs maintenance and repair
• Another Capital Campaign in the next few years
  would not be good stewardship

8
Why the buildings first?

• If the infrastructure (buildings) isnt repaired
  first, any programs utilizing the church and/or
  school buildings will be limited by the space
  currently available and the present condition of
  those areas
• Good stewardship necessitates proper upkeep of
  all parish facilities
• Fresh look helps us move forward

As a result of who we are becoming

• We grow in our faith through worship, faith
  formation and service
• We also experience a deepening sense of community
  and friendship through the time we share together
  and the events the parish provides to deepen our
  relationships

  invitation to love our families, the community
  and the world of which we are part

2 Corinthians 97-8

• Each must do as already determined, without
  sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful
  giver.
• Moreover, God is able to make every grace
  abundant for you, so that in all things, always
  having all you need, you may have an abundance
  for every good work.
