FAITH OF FAITH CAMPAIGN
Archdiocese Campaign was launched by Cardinal Collins
on May 15, 2014. This campaign aims to raise a minimum
of $105 Million to support the various initiatives of the
Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan. All 225 parishes of the
Archdiocese are required to participate, and to date, 90 of
them have completed their campaign. The amount that each
parish is asked to raise, over a 5-year period, varies, and is
based on multiplying our 2012 Sunday Offertory by 130%. –
thus St Bernadette’s 5 year goal is $ 555,000 over 5 years.
I have already met twice with the Campaign director
assigned to our parish. For more details about the Family of
Faith Campaign, please go to www.ourFamilyofFaith.ca ;
and for more details about how the monies raised will
support the initiatives of the Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan,
please go to www.archtoronto.org/pastoral .
Thanking you in advance for your support of the campaign,
Fr Keith Wallace Pastor
