Our Message
This past week, distribution of our campaign
informational materials - a letter from Fr. Ring and the
campaign brochure - began, and it will continue over the
coming weeks. When you receive yours, please take the time
to read through them, and then pray about your decision. Be
open and responsive when our campaign volunteers - one of
your fellow parishioners - contacts you. Please know
that all gifts are greatly appreciated.
Orientation Meeting Held - Great
Response!...
This past Tuesday evening, our Volunteer Orientation
meeting was held for the "Building for a New Century"
campaign. The response was very good, as nearly 100
members of the St. Robert's family attended. Everyone was
provided with an overview of the campaign timetable and
organization, and Campaign Co-chairs Margot Giusti and
Rob Aveson took a few moments to highlight the reasons
for their involvement (George Lynch and Jim Ruane are
also serving as Co-chairs). Fr. Ring requested that all
in the St. Robert's family:
- Reflect upon the significance of this effort for the
future of St. Robert's - it will help meet our current
needs as well as prepare for our future;
- Become familiar with the project and become an
advocate; and,
- Commit to volunteering for this effort and attend the
Report Meetings on Tuesdays at 7:30 in Hennessy Hall.
Remember, the time commitment is short - the campaign
ends by Easter!

Q
|
Is my pledge legally binding? Suppose I
cannot keep my pledge?
|
A.
|
The pledge is not legally binding, it is only a
statement of intention. Situations may arise - such
as job changes, illness, different financial
obligations, etc. - which may prevent one from
completing a pledge. If this occurs, please let us
know. Your pledge may be deferred and begun again
at a later date, upon your determination.
