Transcript of St. Joseph, Hampton All-In Ministry Meeting September 24, 2014.
St. Joseph, Hampton
All-In Ministry Meeting
September 24, 2014
Living Our Mission is an unprecedented $65 million campaign to build up the Church throughout the Catholic Diocese of Richmond.
“Discussions of money in Catholic
parishes should not center on meeting
basic organizational needs, but rather on spiritual growth and personal and world transformation.”
ND Catholic Giving Study

St. Mary of the Annunciation Goal--$225,000
+ 2/3 of funds raised over goal
Parish Share up to Goal: $199,000Establishing a Capital Projects Fund—$144,000The parish anticipates significant renovation and maintenance requirements in the near future, such as a renovation of the church to enhance worship services. Dedicating this fund for critical infrastructure needs will give us the financial strength to address maintenance priorities and can help us carry out a comprehensive parish infrastructure plan.Developing a Comprehensive Infrastructure Plan—$25,000In total, St. Joseph owns and uses 7 buildings to worship, serve, and build community; it is very expensive to operate and maintain them. Hiring a professional firm (architect /contractor) will enable us to develop a course of action that reduces our monthly infrastructure costs while providing space that supports all our ministries. Establishing an Endowment—$30,000Creating an endowment will help ensure that St. Joseph stands as a firm witness to the faith for generations to come by providing investment income for the parish year after year.

St Joseph Parish Buildings
Currently, it costs over $8,000 per month to operate and maintain the Parish buildings.
Regular maintenance and service costs are going up.
The Parish buildings and their associated systems are getting older and will probably require expensive system repairs or replacements; (i.e. roofs, heating/cooling, plumbing, electrical).
