Capital Improvement Fund
Campaign
November 15, 2022

Dear Parishioners,                
                                                                                       
We are once again implementing our annual Capital Improvement Fund Campaign. While our weekly offertory supports the operating expenses of the parish, the Parish Improvement Fund enables us to maintain and upgrade our parish facilities including the Church, the Parish Center,  the rectory, and grounds, as well as set aside reserves for future anticipated and unexpected needs.

Several years ago, through your generosity, we did a major expansion and renovation of our Church. Since then we have painted and fixed the cracked floor downstairs in the Parish Center. We’ve replaced signage on the grounds, relined the parking lots, painted the trim on the rectory, and implemented Livestream of the Mass. Projects for this year include: replacing a window or two in the rectory, some hardware upgrades, and upgrades to the alarm systems.
Our goal for this year’s campaign is $50,000, which is a slight increase from previous goals. We, like all of you, are faced with significant increases in maintenance costs, fuel, and supplies. We ask each family to consider making a contribution of $125. Although some may find this amount to be difficult to contribute at this time, others may have the means to give more. If you are unable to assist financially now, please keep our parish ministry in your prayers and consider supporting the parish through one of our many ministries.
We continue to be blessed by the generous commitment of you, our parishioners. Your support of our regular offertory, and this annual Capital Improvement Fund, helps us to maintain the vibrant community which is St. Matthew Parish. Through the use of our time, talent, and financial gifts, we offer our thanks to God by supporting our Parish’s efforts to fulfill Christ’s mission.

Feel free to respond to this appeal by returning your gift in the enclosed envelope either by mail or in the Sunday collection. Alternatively, you may also contribute via the online giving link on the Parish website.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to conduct my ministry at St. Matthew’s. Thank you for your ongoing support. Continue to pray for me, as I pray for all of you.

Sincerely yours,
James B. Flynn
Rev. James B. Flynn

Prayer shawls are available for those who are in need of being “wrapped” in prayer and need some comfort in time of illness, grief, or experiencing a difficult time.  Contact the Parish Office if you would like a prayer shawl for yourself or a friend, family, or co-worker, who may benefit from receiving one.
