The Revised Goal:
$4,000,000
Total Pledges as of January 31, 2022 *includes $100,000 donated from parish funds
$3,934,561
THE GOAL OF THE CAMPAIGN IS THREEFOLD:
WHERE ARE WE NOW? As of January 31, 2022, we have collected $ 3,392,121 in pledge payments and $14,425 in direct payments to St. Max for the TWG campaign. That is a total of $3,406,546. In April 2021 the St. Max Finance Council approved a donation of $100,000 toward the campaign from church funds, bringing total payments to $3,506,546.
WHERE IS THIS MONEY NOW? $ 1,395,105 was used to fulfill our obligation to the archdiocesan campaign. $ 468,254 paid off our parish debt. $ 1,346,666 resides in our campaign accounts (includes $25,709 interest). $ 4,000 was paid to obtain boring samples. $ 194,125 went to design and architectural/engineering fees. $124,006 is due to be received from the Catholic Community Foundation.
WHERE ARE WE GOING FROM HERE?
While our hope is to be able to generate enough additional pledges to fully fund this project, we also recognize the challenge of doing so. If we aim for completing just the new entrance and the shell of the expansion, the total net cost would be around $2,012,617.
Regardless, we recognize with gratitude that a dedicated group of very generous parishioners continues to make their pledges and support the campaign. We also recognize the need for increased support from everyone in the parish. Please keep in mind that in order to break ground, we must have in hand 75% of the budget and the remaining 25% in pledges to complete the expansion.
TOGETHER WE GROW MATCH SUCCESSFUL!
Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our parishioners we met the $218,200 matching grant. This brings us closer to meeting our goal of breaking ground. But we still need your help. Please consider making a pledge or one-time donation. Thank you for your support!
