What is an intention?
An intention is simply an indication of what you hope to be able to contribute, and helps us to understand the progress of our campaign and what we can hope to build.
 We have been blessed that so many of our dedicated families have already responded prayerfully and generously with their intentions.  Given the size and demographic of our parish, this goal is certainly attainable, but will require the committed participation of every parishioner.
 Now that I have sent in my Commitment card – what now??
• Donations can begin at any time
• Donations can be made in different ways:
* Write a check with “Beacon of Faith” or “Capital Campaign” in the memo line and
▪ Put in the weekend collection basket
