Ignite the Faith Campaign Results

“I’m very grateful to see the generosity of so many people,” Archbishop Lucas declared yesterday as he announced that the Ignite the Faith campaign which had a goal of $40 million dollars actually raised over $51 million dollars. As a Tweet from the Archdiocese said, "the Archdiocese crushed its fundraising goal by $11.8 million."

All of the money over goal will be distributed proportionally to the stated intentions of the goal. It is important that all of the money goes where the Archdiocese said it would.

Here at St. Columbkille, parishioners gave and pledged $1,357.943. Considering that the Source and Summit campaign for the church's worship space raised just over $1,500,000, this was amazing.

We are delighted to see such a strong commitment by the people of St. Columbkille to support the efforts of the Omaha Archdiocese!
