Parish Resources

We are currently in our Leadership Gift phase, which began in October 2018. Members of the Bishop's Cabinet have graciously hosted (and will host) receptions at various venues to promote significant, foundational giving in support of the campaign. In addition to the Cabinet members, other key volunteers and reception attendees have expressed interest in hosting a reception. Leadership Gift Donors often make capital campaign gifts in the range of five to ten times their annual gift to Partners in Charity. 

The active parish phases of the campaign will run from January 2019- June 2020. Each parish will conduct their campaign in one of three blocks within that timeframe. The three blocks are as follows: 
Block 1: January-June 2019 (Most parishes will begin the reception program in March 2019)
Block 2: July- December 2019 (Most parishes will begin the reception program in September 2019)
Block 3: January-June 2020 (Most parishes will begin the reception program in March 2020)

The following parishes are designated as Block 1 parishes as of today, 1/11/19: 

1. St. John, Worcester
2. Immaculate Conception,  Worcester
3. Christ the King, Worcester
4. North American Martyrs, Auburn
5. St Mark, Sutton
6. St. Gabriel the Archangel,  Upton
7. St. Richard of Chichester, Sterling
8. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel at Our Lady of Loreto, Worcester
9. St. Cecilia, Leominster
10. Our Lady of the Lake, Leominster

In preparation for kicking the campaign off, all parishes in Block 1 are asked to prepare the following: 

1. Determine and finalize your Parish Case Statement
2. Form a Campaign Committee, asking a parishioner to be the General Chairperson
3. Complete their Parish Analysis Form and return it to Mike Messano
4. Set a date and time for the first Initial Committee Meeting

Parishes assigned to Block 2 will hear from their campaign director in May/June 2019. If you'd like to meet prior, please contact Mike Messano at mmessano@guidanceingiving.com.
