We are blessed that Christ Our Hope reached and exceeded our 2019 Annual Catholic Appeal goal of $50,000! Thank you to the 126 families who generously gave $64,745. The funds over our goal were given directly to the parish to support our Outreach programs including Immersions, Partner Agencies, the Josephinum and more. Thank you! 

Thank you to the 146 households who have contributed over $70,000 to the 2018 ACA. On Ascension Sunday, our Parish Feast Day, we met our ACA goal for the Archdiocese of $44,000! Each of you are generous parishioners giving of your time, talent, and treasure - thank you. Anything above our goal comes back for our own needs in the parish. Last year we raised more than $100,000. 

This year we heard from Alan Frazier on Pentecost Sunday about the next project we want to accomplish inside the Josephinum building (or, more exactly, on the roof above our Pastoral Center). You can read the details from his talk here on the creation of a roof-top garden, see photos above, for the benefit of our neighbors in the Josephinum and for the use of parishioners.

Every spring we are called by Archbishop Etienne to participate in the Annual Catholic Appeal. We are encouraged to prayerfully consider our response as faithful stewards of the gifts which God has generously given us, and support the essential ministries and shared services of the Archdiocese. 

The impact and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic have created extraordinary challenges not only for our parish, but also the Archdiocese. Many of your fellow parishioners may not be able to contribute this year, so your support and participation in this appeal is critical! 
 
The Annual Appeal supports more than 60 ministries and services that provide needed assistance throughout the Archdiocese, including programs here at Christ Our Hope. This year our parish goal is $39,897. If we exceed our goal, all excess payments received will be returned to us and be put towards losses sustained from the pandemic. In addition, this year 10% of all the funds collected through the ACA (excluding our rebate) will be placed into a special Parish Solidarity Fund at the Archdiocese. In this way, your donation will help us, but will also help other parishes recover. Last year, we used our ACA rebate to help support our outreach programs here at Christ Our Hope.
