Thank you to all parishioners who helped us kick-off the first year of the Christ Our Hope Campaign with their donations and pledges. It has been a very tough year for so many and while supporting the campaign, we know that so many have also been reaching out to the homebound, the hungry and those affected by the Covid-19 virus. Both parishes together reached about 13% of our combined target. Pledges are faithfully being fulfilled and hopefully we will be able to extend our support through the next two years. Great appreciation is extended to the parish volunteers who spent many weeks calling parishioners to explain the goals of the campaign and answering questions about its purpose. Follow updates on the campaign at https://christourhopevt.
Essex Catholic Community will launch our local campaign on the weekend of August 22-23. Donations will support our Synod Priorities of Building a Vibrant Parish, Evangelization, and Communications. Appeal letters will be sent to parishioners late August- Early September. Parishioners volunteering to support the campaign will reach out to parishioners to answer their questions as they discern how they might contribute to this campaign to support our parish, Catholic Charities and diocesan-wide faith formation. If you have any questions, contact Father Ranges or Campaign Chair Katharin Brink at ecc.engage@gmail.com.
