Subject:Thank You for Your Generosity & Invitation to Support Our New CCD BuildingProje

ctIwant to begin this letter with deep gratitude for your generosity during lastyear’s #iGiveCatholic campaign. Your contributions allowed us toraise $301,000, surpassing our original goal. Thanks to yoursupport, we spent $120,000 on installing new airconditioning units in the parish hall and parlor, significantly improving thecomfort of these spaces for all our gatherings and events.Addi

tionally,with the remaining $180,000, we strengthened our building fund topurchase a house for two more nuns from India who will join our parish familyin January 2025. These sisters will provide essential leadership for ourCCD program in English, helping shape the spiritual growth of ourchildren and youth."Eachof y

ou should use whatever gift you have received to serve others as faithfulstewards of God’s grace in its various forms." — 1 Peter 4:10Aswe look t

o the future, I want to share an exciting new opportunity to bless ourparish community: a new CCD building project. The total cost of thisproject is estimated at $2 million, and thanks to the overwhelminggenerosity of our St. Stephen’s family, we have already raised $1 million. However, to begin construction, we still need to raise an additional $1million. We have about 700 children in CCD.Thisnew building

will serve as a vital space for our children's faith formation, equipping them with the tools to grow in their relationship with Christ. Additionally, it will be used for daycare during the day,making it a multi-purpose facility that will benefit both families in ourparish and the larger community.Everygift, no matte

r the size, makes a difference. Together, we can bring thisvision to life and ensure our children have a vibrant, faith-filledenvironment to learn and grow. I genuinely believe that, with your support, we willreach this goal and see the fruits of this project bless our community forgenerations to come.Again, Thank you for you

r kindness and generosity in helping us build abrighter future for our parish. If you have any questions or would like toexplore specific sponsorship opportunities, please don’t hesitate to contactme."Letus not grow weary in do

ing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvestif we do not give up."— Galatians 6:9MayGod bless you abundantly fo

r your generosity and commitment to St. Stephen’smission. InChrist,Fr. Bala Anthony Govin
