IGNITE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

The continued growth and diversity of our Archdiocese has created needs that no single parish can address on its own. Join us in our capital campaign to IGNITE: Our Faith, Our Mission. The campaign aims to assist in long-term funding in various areas of need in our Archdiocese.

WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF OUR PARISH?

Every parish in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is asked to participate in the IGNITE: Our Faith, Our Mission campaign. The active phases of the campaign will run through December 2021. Each parish will conduct its campaign in one of four blocks within that time-frame. Parishes conducting a Good Faith Effort agree to participate in the campaign as designed by our counsel, Guidance In Giving, Inc., in order to reach their established financial goal.

Please visit the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston website for more information and updates about this campaign.

IGNITE FAQS

A parish conducting a Good Faith Effort campaign will retain 33% of the monies raised up to the IGNITE goal and 67% of the funds collected over the goal.

This goal is NOT an assessment but rather, an objective for every parish to achieve based on their potential.
