RESPOND, RESTORE, & RENEW
The Respond, Restore, & Renew capital campaign sought to address serious heating/cooling, electrical, and plumbing problems in St. Brendan's church/rectory. This helped preserve the integrity of our buildings, lower utility costs, and ensure that our church building remains a healthy place to worship in the long-term.
This campaign runs from September 2020 - September 2023 with an original goal of $550,000.
Due to unforeseen expenses and circumstances, and change orders, the total cost ended up being $649,619.89.
Thank you to those who have fulfilled your committments and most especially those who then continued to give toward this cause over and above their normal tithe to the Parish.
Our total received gifts specifically toward this project have been $615,915.73! GOD BLESS YOU!
Please, for those who have not done so (180 of our roughly 450 registered households have zero recorded treasure giving for the year 2022) consider supporting the work and ministry of St. Brendan, by making a sacrificial donation based on your income to the parish. That alone would make a tremendous difference. If you are able and so moved, donating over and above that in a one time or ongoing donation toward the RRR would also be a great help for us to continue to provide as much ministry in our parish as possible!
