Our Faith, Our Legacy

Capital Campaign

Let us reflect on the many blessings the Lord has given us. Recognizing that all of our material goods are gifts from the Lord, we are asked in the Gospel to give back a portion of these gifts in thanksgiving for God’s generosity and goodness to us.

Your gift is an opportunity to leave a Catholic legacy for generations to come. Scripture tells us that Christian stewardship goes beyond giving of our surplus. It is a gift made from our substance.

It is in this spirit of Christian stewardship that we undertake this extraordinary campaign.

 

Campaign Prayer

Loving and faithful God, on Pentecost you sent your Spirit
to give a young church the courage to grow.
Today, you call us to look to the future and see
the countless ways we can foster your kingdom on earth.

From the moment of creation
you have gifted us with countless blessings and asked of us in return
that we care wisely and well for all we have received.
Keep us mindful that we are but stewards of your gifts. 
Help us to be bold in using all that you give us for your greater glory.

In sending Christ to live among us, you challenged us to carry
the message of your generous love to all generations.
Send your Holy Spirit afresh into our hearts that we may have a
new zeal for cultivating the seeds of faith
throughout Central Texas.

Father, bless our faith journey and diocesan campaign.
Through our efforts, strengthen your Church.
Give us vision, energy and courage to breathe new life into
our communities as we work together in your name.
May our faith today be our legacy for the next generation.

We ask this in the name of Jesus and through the power of the Holy Spirit,
who lives and reigns with you, now and forever.

Amen.
