Lord, Renew Your Church Capital Campaign
Lord, Renew Your Church
Dear Fellow Parishioners,
The Church of St. Genevieve is participating in the third wave of the Lord, Renew Your Church capital campaign. Every parish in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis is participating in one of the four waves.
Approximately 720,000 Catholics are part of our Archdiocese and through the Lord, Renew Your Church campaign, we all have an exciting opportunity to live out our mission by helping even more people discover, follow, and worship Jesus. Please take a moment to review the impact the Lord, Renew Your Church campaign will have on St. Gen's and the Archdiocese and then join me in participating in this opportunity.
Right now I am requesting four things from you. Please:
1. Pray for the success of the campaign.
2. Welcome contact from fellow parishioners and myself to discuss the campaign. You may be getting aphone call in the next few weeks.
3. Prayerfully consider your own sacrificial five-year pledge to the campaign.
4.Call the Parish Office if you have not been contacted and would like to schedule a one-on-one visit with a volunteer to explain the campaign and to recieve your personalized packet.
In Christ,
Fr. Greg
Phase 1: Currently volunteers are calling fellow parishioners to discuss the campaign.

What happens after I pledge?
You should hear back from the campaign's processing company after 8 weeks.
You will receive a mailing with an acknowledgement letter, your pledge balance, and a pre-addressed return envelope in which you can return payment information or checks. If you are giving via DAF, Stock, or QCD, you should have access to the instructions in your folder (or see the buttons below). You are welcome to begin your payments before you receive your mailing.
Checks should be made payable to Lord, Renew Your Church and mailed directly to: Lord, Renew Your Church PO Box 7118 in Kensington, CT 06037.
Campaign Prayer
Lord, Renew Your Church by the light of the Gospel. Pour out Your Holy Spirit upon us so that we might recognize you as the Giver of all good gifts.
Bless our Lord, Renew Your Church campaign.
May it strengthen the bonds that unite us and bring new fruitfulness to our parishes, schools and pastoral efforts.
Through the intercession of Mary, Mother of the Church, and Saint Paul, our patron, may our generous response give witness to Your love, Your power and Your plan.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
