SMdP Parish Life Center
Capital Campaign
Forward Together
Just as an oak tree drops acorns for a future grove, St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church is planting another seed of faith from the mighty oak under which we were born.
Join us in building the new St. Martin de Porres Parish Life Center. Every parishioner is invited to help till the soil so this acorn can grow into a strong sapling and, in time, another live oak spreading the Catholic faith to our children and community.
Our goal is to raise at least:
$7.5 million
over the next Three Years
(estimated total construction cost $12.5 million)
What God wills, God makes possible. That's why we are moving forward with confidence and faith. Yes, there will be challenges. But we believe this Forward Together campaign is God's Will. He will provide for our parish through the generosity of our people, just as He has in the past.
The future is now! May God richly bless our preparations for the next quarter century of parish ministry.
The kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.
- Matthew 13:31-32
While we do not know how God will bless our parish with the $7.5 million needed to assist in paying for the construction of the new SMdP Parish Life Center, we are boldly asking that He will.
Today, we move Forward Together, united by faith, sharing our gifts and talents responsibly, willingly, and compassionately.
To be successful, we will need the generous giving of all,
and the extraordinary giving of a few.
You are invited to prayerfully consider a challenging, yet attainable gift to be given over the next three years. We ask that your commitment to the campaign be "over and above" your general offertory giving. The gift chart below outlines the suggested gifts necessary to reach our goal:
