Many parishes throughout our diocese are in great need of funds for capital projects as well as ministry. Recognizing this urgent need, the Legacy of Hope campaign will return 40% of all funds collected up to the assigned target to our parishes for their local needs. Once a parish surpasses its target, 60% of the funds raised above that point will go to the parish. The Diocese of Worcester will collect donor contributions and disburse funds to the parishes on a quarterly basis.
Some examples of how parishes may use the donations from the Legacy of Hope campaign include:
Forty percent of all Funds generated in the Legacy of Hope Campaign will directly and positively impact Local parishes throughout our diocese. Each parish will be assigned a “good-faith target.” Targets are “goals” not “assessments,” meaning each parish community is asked to simply do their best in raising the maximum amount of funds.
