Thursday Women’s Group

Now that Lent is over the ladies who met to discuss The Best Lent Ever series have decided they would like to continue to meet for faith sharing until school is out for the summer.  Therefore, we will continue to meet on Thursday mornings April 12-May 24 from 10-11 in the Dickman Center.  We will watch “Faith Clips” by Bishop Robert Barron. He answers 50 theological and spiritual frequently asked questions across diverse topics. All ladies are welcome to join us.  No need to register or attend every week.  Just come when you can. For further information contact Mary Hynes at the parish office.

Unleashed Results

Recently, our parish conducted a feasibility study, Unleashed, to determine the awareness of the parish regarding our $2M debt and the willingness to conduct a capital campaign to quickly pay it off. Results were stunning!
*  The participation rate was one of the highest among parishes conducting similar studies.

*  The parishioners were overwhelmingly clear about their wishes—the debt must go.

Therefore, we’re launching a 3 year capital campaign to unleash this debt.

 

The study itself made clear many other important facts. While none of these are surprising, they underscore what makes St. Aloysius Catholic Church a uniquely wonderful parish.

*  Parishioners love St. Aloysius Parish.

*  Parishioners are proud of our excellent school

*  Parishioners believe we are a blessed parish with many resources

*  Parishioners believe our future will be as strong, if not stronger, than our past

*  Parishioners believe we have the resolve and resources to meet any challenge

 

The Together We Can Campaign Kick-Off Weekend is October 28/29. More information to follow in the upcoming weeks.
