The Parish share of the funds from these pledges will go toward our parish needs:
- Painting the church interior
- Updating the aging pews
- Replacing the carpet
Please note, there is not a direct relationship between the amount of pledges received and the cost of the projects noted above. The Pastoral Council is in the beginning stages of working with a design committee to determine the scope and estimated costs of these projects.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pledges
Who is being asked to pledge to the Love One Another Campaign?
All households in all parishes of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee will be asked to prayerfully consider a five-year commitment
Why does the campaign request five-year pledges?
Pledges payable over five years allow families to budget their contributions in monthly or annual payments. Most of us can make larger commitments over time than we might be able to all-at-once. Five-year pledges help ensure we can meet our parish's campaign goal and fund the needs of the parish and important Catholic ministries in our 1- counties of southeastern Wisconsin.
When do pledge payments begin?
Each family determines the timing and frequency of their pledge payments and how payments are made.
