Lord, Renew Your Church, Capital Campaign
We are nearing the finish line of the Archdiocesan Capital Campaign and can use your help to reach our goal of $1,745,000. We ask for your Supportive Prayers, consideration of a Five-Year Pledge, or a one-time gift to help us.
You can use this QR code to give to the Lord, Renew Your Church campaign on Saint Olaf's behalf today.
This $250 million Archdiocesan Campaign, the first in over 20 years, will assist the Archdiocese in Educating Children and Young People in Discipleship, Sustaining the Cathedral and Basilica, Caring for our Clergy and Future Clergy, and Providing for those in Need. The majority share of the focus is to Strengthen Our Parishes. 60% of all the funds raised will be returned to the individual parishes.
This means that if Saint Olaf reaches its goal, $1,047,000 will be returned to Saint Olaf, without assessment, for our use.
Saint Olaf's Financial Advisory Board, Parish Advisory Board, and staff developed the case statement of how the funds returned to Saint Olaf will be used to serve Saint Olaf of Today, Saint Olaf of Tomorrow, and Serve as the Hands and Feet of Jesus Christ in the Heart of the City.
Patterned after our Gift Acceptance Policy that is in place at Saint Olaf, here is how we will use these funds: Saint Olaf Case Statement
Bishop Kenney introduced the Lord, Renew Your Church Campaign in January of 2025:
Saint Olaf is excited to be one of the 16 Pilot Parishes for the Archdiocesan Capital Campaign.
This campaign provides an extraordinary opportunity for the parishes in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. There will be four waves after the Pilot Phase is completed and every parish will have an opportunity to participate in this $250 Million campaign.
60% of all funds raised will be gifted back to the parishes.
