Capital Campaign Status
We are proud to say that our successful Capital Campaign has begun to wind down.
With 97% of the pledges collected we are so proud of our parish community! The contractor plans on
finishing the bell tower area this fall to complete the renovation.
Because of our commitment to the Campaign we did not need any special consideration from the
Diocese and we have real reason to celebrate! Therefore, mark your calendar for Sunday November 25th.
It is the Feast of Christ the King and we will have a special "Celebratory Mass" at the 10 o'clock mass
and cake and coffee reception to follow.
A weekend announcement in September will reveal more details...
Thanks again everyone!

Capital Campaign: $31,833 short; Not bad for little ole Solvay, NY.
The Springfest was postponed due to some conflicts and will instead be renamed
"Fallfest" and held sometime in September. Our roofing contractor, Josall of Syracuse,
will return in mid-late May to complete the exterior portion of the project.
We are so grateful to everyone that participated in the "Sweepstakes" for
the Campaign as it turned out to be a HUGE success!
One thing we have learned throughout this process is that our parish
has wonderful people supporting it in many, many ways. More news to come!
Thanks again,
MK

Capital Campaign sees the "light" at the end of the tunnel!!
When spring arrives our renovation contractor, Josall of Syracuse, will
return to our church to complete the exterior phase of work. The bell tower,
flat roof and sheet metal work will be the focus.
We are pleased to report that all of the fundraising efforts to this point
have been very successful. Therefore the end of the Campaign is in sight! The
remaining work of the committee is to complete the "Sweepstakes", collect the
"outstanding" pledges, organize the "Springfest" basket bazaar and finalize the
profits to evaluate our success in achieving our $700,000 goal. While those
tasks will be keep us busy; we are ready to finish the job! We hope that you
will continue to support the project by participating in the remaining fundraisers
associated with it and paying off your pledge.
Thank you! Great job! Think spring!
