Through the Pastoral Plan, Encounter that Leads to Transformation, the Diocese of Austin experienced Jesus Christ in a more intentional way and developed a roadmap for a vibrant and secure future. In this spirit, the diocese has launched a capital and endowment campaign to assist us in encountering Christ in our liturgies and ministries, and to provide support to our clergy and each other.
The Encountering Christ campaign will fulfill the mission of our diocese as outlined in the Pastoral Plan. The campaign goal of $85 million will support our clergy at all stages of their vocation, strengthen our parishes, large and small, and expand our services to our brothers and sisters in need. We will direct funds to Catholic schools and parish faith formation programs, campus and young adult ministries, and leadership development for Hispanic and other emerging ethnic communities.
Encountering Christ will build a vibrant and secure future for the Diocese of Austin. All 123 parishes and missions are taking part in the campaign in four waves during 2018 and 2019. Every family in the diocese will be invited to consider a sacrificial gift to Encountering Christ in the spirit of Christian stewardship. Let us reflect on the many blessings the Lord has given us and, recognizing that all our material goods are gifts from the Lord, give back a portion of these gifts in thanksgiving for God’s generosity and goodness to us.
Please join us in supporting the Encountering Christ Campaign.
