“It has been a challenge for five years to reach a $5 million goal, but this year our fervent prayer was that we would make it,” said Michael Gillespie, director of the Office of Stewardship and Development, reflecting on this year’s Annual Partners in Charity Appeal. His office announced today that, as of the end of the day August 31, it has received 17,857 gifts and pledges totaling $5,022,168, thereby exceeding the $5 million goal. The campaign officially launched at an event at the Diocesan Chancery on February 11. The official total may take another week to determine given that some gifts are still in transit.
