We are pleased to announce that the Honoring Our Past,<br />

Preserving Our Future Capital Campaign at Saint<br />

Agnes has not only surpassed the challenge goal of $5<br />

million, but is continuing strong as the summer is upon us. In<br />

recognition of the 125th anniversary of the church and school,<br />

the campaign was established to address the need for many longstanding<br />

repairs and improvements within the facilities.<br />

A recent announcement of a $250,000 matching gift has motivated<br />

many to pledge new or additional funds. For this we are extremely grateful.<br />

Supporters have been invited to consider the option of designating their gift toward the sponsorship of<br />

a particular project or need within the campaign. Several of our “Gift Opportunities” have already been<br />

pledged, with the most significant being a single gift of $1 million in order to replace the school roof;<br />

construction for this important project will begin already this summer. We are currently working with<br />

engineers and architects in finalizing plans for the elevator replacement, in addition to the groundwork<br />

and research for other campaign priorities.<br />

Students and faculty are excited by the prospects of renewed classrooms, a modernized science<br />

lab, upgraded technology or something as simple as a new cafeteria table. <strong>The</strong>re are still many “Gift<br />

Opportunities” available and listed on our website.<br />

It was our hope to go “Beyond the Challenge Goal” and through the generosity of our alumni, supporters<br />

and friends, we have crossed that benchmark. As we stated in the original campaign announcement, “All<br />

additional funds raised over the $5 million dollar challenge will be used toward current and long term<br />

needs of both the church and the school.” <strong>The</strong>se needed funds include, but are not limited to, building<br />

maintenance and repair, and our critically needed student scholarship funds. Many of our students<br />

require financial assistance to receive the quality Catholic education that is offered here at Saint Agnes.<br />

As we celebrate our 125th anniversary we want to ensure that we can continue to serve many generations<br />

to come. We invite you to be a part of this hopeful future. Some of you may find significance in seeing<br />

your family name memorialized on a plaque recognizing supporters of the campaign. Gifts of every size<br />

are needed and appreciated. We hope that you will prayerfully consider giving!<br />
