March 22, 2011 Update
Our goal for the FIOF campaign is to build
community through supporting the archdiocesan initiatives and through
three capital improvements of our St. Dominic Master Plan developed
during the Vision 2012 process. The three selected projects are to
update the church interior, build a new athletic facility, and transform
the existing gym into a parish arts and activities center. Each of these
facility enhancements at St. Dominic will provide the needed resources
where parishioners can share the spiritual, educational, recreational,
cultural and social events of their lives in a way that will build
lifelong connections. As you recall, this campaign directs 60% of the
funds raised back to our Parish. Through January 2011, $1,320,988 of the
$1,848,331 pledged has been received. Of this amount, $792,593 (or 60%
of the amount received) has been returned to our Parish. We are
projecting $315,000 in additional Parish funds before the campaign is
completed in November 2011. We have all witnessed the beauty of our
church renovation with the use of these funds and will soon experience
the community building of a new facility. God bless you for your
generous spirit of prayerful and financial support!
