Through the generosity of our parishioners so far we have collected $1,549,725.00 in pledges over 4 years. The number falls short of our total over all goal to fully fund the project and it also is short of the $2 million dollar marker to begin ground breaking. More details are available on page 7 of this bulletin. However, we will continue to work hard and fundraise in order make our new building a reality within 5 or 6 years. In the meantime if you wish to participate in the campaign, please feel free to fill out a campaign commitment card found in the pews or the back of the Church. Thank you again for all your support and prayers. -Fr. Vasquez Youth Formation April 28, 2019 stjohnyouth.org | @stjohnym
