A SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN WINDS DOWN ACROSS THE DIOCESE

$8.5 million in gifts and pledges so far!!

In an update released September 20th by the office of Stewardship & Financial Development it was announced that the Survive & Thrive Campaign has now achieved $8.5 million in gifts and pledges. Most parish campaigns are now complete with two winding down this fall and two parishes to run their campaigns in the first quarter of 2002. With these returns still to come we anticipate that the final amount raised will be in the range of $ 8.7-$8.8 million.

We are grateful to all parishes for their participation, hard work, and commitment to the goals of the campaign and to Bishop Spence's vision for the future ministry of the Anglican Church in Niagara.

The Reverend David M. Ponting, Director of Stewardship and Financial Development, reminds the parishes that have not yet completed their campaigns that we still have a long way to go in order to cover all the obligations the campaign has to parishes and to recover all expenses. Every donation, every visit, is still vitally important to our final success. The continued work to build upon our success will help ensure that, at the end of the day, we maximize the amount available towards the $8 million allocated for parish-based ministry in the case for support.

The Financial Development office continues to solicit major gifts to the campaign as it enters its final phase. If you are in a parish that has completed its campaign but have not yet made your personal gift to Survive & Thrive we need and would be most grateful for your support.
