Faith & Tradition Capital Campaign
As many of you are aware by now, Saint Agnes is in the planning stages of a major capital campaign to renovate our convent in preparation for the arrival of the Dominican Sisters and to address maintenance and facility issues throughout our campus. To conduct a successful effort, we must assemble a strong volunteer team to reach out to parish and school families.
So far, our campaign is off to a great start! We are lucky to have an enthusiastic group of campaign leaders on board and we are continuing to recruit volunteers to help with the campaign. Please consider working as a volunteer when asked. If you have not been asked, please consider volunteering by contacting Bridget Klosterman at
bklosterman@steiergroup.com
or 612-850-5011. To reach our goal, we will need the help of the entire parish community.
You can help make a difference for Church of Saint Agnes and Saint Agnes School and its future. Please considering lending your talent to this important cause!
