St. R Early Learning Center
Important Campaign Update:
With more than $3.1 million raised, we are close to meeting our goal. We have received a matching gift from a generous anonymous donor who is willing to match, dollar-for-dollar, every donation that comes in up to $200,000. This means if we raise an additional $200K from parishioners, we will receive a total of $400K. If we can raise the full $200K, the Early Learning Center will be fully funded. This is an amazing opportunity to double your impact. We currently need $27,000 to max out this match. Help us get us to our full $3.5 million goal. As we wrap up our campaign, we ask each of you to dig deep and consider making an additional one-time gift, increasing your pledge, or making your pledge today.
