    • Encountering Christ is a capital and endowment campaign to raise $85 million in gifts and pledges for local parish needs while strengthening ministries, Catholic education and faith formation, supporting our clergy and enhancing growth and development across the diocese.

      Through our pastoral plan, Encounter that Leads to Transformation, we developed a roadmap for a vibrant and secure future for this diocese. Encountering Christ will allow us to fulfill the mission of our diocese as we outlined together.

    • Strengthened by prayer, Encountering Christ allows us — in a spirit of stewardship and unity — to build a vibrant and secure future for the Diocese of Austin. This campaign will raise a minimum of $85 million to fulfill the vision of our Pastoral Plan: Emerging Disciples, Supporting Our Clergy, Strengthening our Parishes and Embracing Discipleship
    • Emerging Disciples
    • Supporting Our Clergy
    • Strengthening Our Parishes
    • Embracing Discipleship
    Emerging Disciples
    • $20 million for emerging disciples
      Our responsibility as Catholics is to ensure future generations of disciples are well-formed, prepared and excited to embrace and share their faith with our world. We continually seek to support the spiritual development of our children and young adults as well as engage them in educational and formational opportunities.
    Supporting Our Clergy
    • $12 million to support our clergy
      The men who dedicate their lives to serving us need our support at all stages of their journey. By supporting our clergy from seminary through retirement, we will encourage seminarians and priests to experience the fullness of their vocation, lifting them up as they help us consider and live out our own calling.
    Strengthening Our Parishes
    • $35.5 million to strengthen parishes 
      Our diocese benefits from the diversity of our 123 parishes and missions, which are urban and rural, small and large, multilingual, with schools and without. Given the critical role of parishes, ensuring their strength and sustainability is of the utmost importance. Each parish in the diocese is rooted in the church but has its own identity and charism — and unique needs. Encountering Christ will have a significant impact on parishes, with $22.5 million of the campaign’s $85 million goal remaining in parishes to address local needs.
    Embracing Discipleship
    • $14 million to embrace discipleship
      Fostering encounters with Jesus Christ leads to a deeper engagement that will transform our ministry, resulting in true missionary discipleship. Witnessing our faith is an essential part of Catholic-Christian discipleship.
