Parish Participation

Every parish in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is asked to participate in the IGNITE: Our Faith, Our Mission campaign. The active phases of the campaign will run from July 2018 through June 2020 .  Each parish will conduct its campaign in one of four blocks within that time-frame. 

The four blocks are as follows:

  • July 2018 - December 2018
  • January 2019 - June 2019
  • July 2019 – December 2019
  • January 2020 - June 2020

Parishes conducting a Good Faith Effort agree to participate in the campaign as designed by our counsel, Guidance In Giving, Inc., in order to reach their established financial goal.  The parish is asked to follow the campaign plan and put in a good faith effort in presenting the campaign needs in a positive and supportive way, as well as to encourage maximum participation and support from all parishioners. Each pastor is asked to present a parish case statement of needs that will also be incorporated into the overall cause for the parishioner’s consideration and support.

  • All parishes are asked to draft their own Parish Case Statement.
  • A parish conducting a Good Faith Effort campaign will retain 33% of the monies raised up to the IGNITE goal and 67% of the funds collected over the goal.
  • This goal is NOT an assessment but rather, an objective for every parish to achieve based on their potential.

St. Michael’s Share: $336,937

Through the generous contributions to the IGNITE Campaign, our parish will receive funds for special projects which have been recommended to our Pastor, Msgr. Leo by the Parish IGNITE Leadership Team. Possible use of the funds may include:

  • refurbishing and securing the Adoration Chapel located in the Family Life Center
  • upgrading technology in the Spiritual Learning Center to ensure catechists have the tools they need to engage students at every level
  • expanding Family Catechesis through a program which promotes fellowship and outreach through a weekly shared meal here at the parish.

All of these projects are dependent on the amount of funds generated for the IGNITE: Our Faith, Our Mission Campaign.

Tất cả những dự án này đều phụ thuộc vào số tiền tài trợ cho chiến dịch IGNITE: Niềm tin, Sứ vụ của chúng ta.

Our Goal: $1,325,785
Our Share: $437,509

Reaching the IGNITE goal gives our parish the potential to receive $437,509! Our campaign proceeds will go toward the following:

Additional Parking
We want to take full advantage of the vast amount of space we have on our Riverstone Ranch Campus. In order to do so, we feel that we need to create additional parking. Our first project will be to add additional parking, which will also help us when holding large parish events, like the Parish Bazaar!

Riverstone Ranch Pavilion
Our second project will be to build a pavilion on our Riverstone Ranch Campus so that we may fully enjoy the blessing of our land and hold many outdoor events together as a parish family. The pavilion will also be available for rent in order to help offset the cost.


Meta Parroquial: $1,325,785
Parte de la Parroquia: $437,509

Estacionamiento Adicional
Queremos aprovechar al máximo la gran cantidad de espacio que tenemos en nuestro Riverstone Ranch Campus. Para ello, sentimos que necesitamos crear estacionamiento adicional. Nuestro primer proyecto será agregar estacionamiento adicional que también nos ayudará cuando se celebren grandes eventos parroquiales, como el Bazar Parroquial!

Riverstone Ranch Pavilion
Nuestro segundo proyecto será construir un pabellón en nuestro Campus Riverstone Ranch para que podamos disfrutar plenamente de la bendición de nuestra tierra y celebrar muchos eventos al aire libre juntos como una familia parroquial. El pabellón también estará disponible para alquilar con el fin de ayudar compensar el costo.

St. Katharine Drexel Goal: $519,573
St. Katharine Drexel Share: $171,459

Reaching the IGNITE goal gives our parish the potential to receive $171,459! Our campaign proceeds will go toward the following:

Project 1
Enclose the Pavilion: Enclosing the Pavilion will give us more space for Fellowship particularly during inclement weather.

Project 2
Upgrade the IT System: Our IT system is in need of amplification so that our CCE teachers and students will have access to online Catholic Educational Studies. In addition, the rectory needs to be on the same system as the office. Currently there is a signal being broadcast to it but it is weak and intermittent.

Project 3
Purchase Projection System for the Church: The drop down projection system will provide media availability for many videos used during Missions and other Celebrations.


Meta Parroquial: $519,573
Parte de la Parroquia: $171,459

Proyecto 1
Encerrar nuestro pabellón, lo cual aumentará nuestro espacio de compañerismo, especialmente durante las inclemencias del tiempo.

Proyecto 2
Mejorar nuestro sistema de tecnología en el campus de la parroquia. Esto ayudara a nuestros maestros y estudiantes de CCE al brindar acceso a los Estudios de Educación Católica en línea. Además, la rectoría debe estar en el mismo sistema que la oficina, y actualmente la señal que se emite es débil e intermitente.

Proyecto 3
Adquirir un sistema de proyección para la iglesia para proveer la disponibilidad de los medios para los videos usados durante las misiones y otras celebraciones.

St. James the Apostle Goal: $732,775
St. James the Apostle Share: $241,816

Reaching the IGNITE goal gives our parish the potential to receive $241,816! Our campaign proceeds will go toward the following:

Remodel the South Wing:
To allow for Faith Formation and other Ministry Meeting spaces. Our current configuration does not allow for multiple meetings to take place and is not user-friendly.

Relocate Administrative, Faith Formation, and Clergy Offices:
To facilitate the remodel of the South Wing into meeting spaces, it is necessary to relocate the above offices into the rectory space.

New Rectory:
The current rectory will be converted into administrative offices. The existing rectory can only accommodate two priests and one guest. Currently, we are at capacity. It would be advantageous to have a third suite so that we might invite a retired priest to reside here at St. James. We would build a rectory to be like most in the Archdiocese, providing a suite for each priest consisting of a study, a bedroom, and private bath.


Meta Parroquial: $732,775
Parte de la Parroquia: $241,816

Proyecto #1 Remodelar el ala sur:
Para permitir espacio para que se reúna el departamento de Formación de Fe y otros ministerios. La configuración actual de nuestros salones no permite que se lleven a cabo múltiples reuniones y no es fácil de usar.

Proyecto #2 Trasladar las oficinas de la Parroquia, de Formación de Fe, y del Clero:
Para facilitar la remodelación del ala sur convirtiéndola en espacio para reuniones, es necesario reubicar las oficinas actuales en la rectoría.

Proyecto #3 Rectoría Nueva:
La rectoría actual se convertirá en oficinas administrativas. La rectoría que ahora existe solo puedo acomodar a dos sacerdotes y un invitado. Actualmente estamos al máximo de capacidad. Seria ventajoso tener una tercera habitación para que pudiéramos invitar a un sacerdote jubilado para que viva aquí en St. James. Construiríamos una rectoría como muchas en la Arquidiócesis, y así proporcionar una habitación para cada sacerdote que consiste en un estudio, un dormitorio, y un baño privado. 

St. Gregory’s Goal: $207,638
St. Gregory’s Share: $68,521

With the funds returning to the parish, we will make repairs to the roof of our Church and CCE building to stop the leaks, add an AC Unit to the CCE building, as well as make repairs to the piano for the choir.

Parish Goal: $756,820
Parish Share: $249,751

Since our expansion with the new sanctuary in 2005, St. Frances Cabrini has faced financial challenges that have caused us to defer from permanent solutions, and seek low-cost temporary solutions in many of our structures. Now is the time our parish can join together to help address challenges and seek permanent solutions for our needs.

A successful IGNITE campaign will allow us to complete the following three projects:

  • Update our electrical system in all of our building structures including the new sanctuary. We need to replace the current light fixtures and wiring, in order to accommodate the new brighter, long-lasting, energy-efficient fixtures and bulbs.
  • Replace the air conditioner/heater in the Francesca Hall and Cabrini Center. These buildings have long needed HVAC work, but we have not had the funds to replace the existing units.
  • We will perform general basic maintenance “a facelift” on all building structures to ensure that all areas are clean, safe, and presentable to all that enter.

Meta Parroquial: $756,820
Parte de la Parroquia: $249,751

Desde nuestra expansión con el nuevo santuario en el 2005, Sta. Francisca Cabrini ha enfrentado desafíos financieros que nos han hecho aplazar soluciones permanentes y buscar soluciones temporales de bajo costo.  Ahora es el momento en que nuestra parroquia puede unirse para ayudar a enfrentar los retos y buscar soluciones más permanentes para nuestras necesidades.

El éxito de la campaña ENCIENDE nos ayudará a completar los siguientes tres proyectos esenciales: 

  • Actualizar nuestro sistema eléctrico en todas nuestras estructuras incluyendo el nuevo santuario.  Reemplazar los accesorios de iluminación y el cableado, con el fin de acomodar luces más brillantes, de larga duración y eficiente.
  • Reemplazar el aire acondicionado / calentador en el Francesca Hall y en el Centro Cabrini.  Hace tres años solo pudimos actualizar parte del trabajo del HVAC necesario en Frances Hall por falta de fondos. 
  • Realizaremos un mantenimiento básico general en todas las estructuras de edificios para asegurar que todas las áreas estén limpias, seguras y presentables para todos los que entran.

The IGNITE: Our Faith, Our Mission campaign will allow us to proportion funds to fix the corner lot, so we can use it as temporary parking. We must continue to look toward the future, and keep the needs of our ever-growing parish in mind. The majority of funds from this campaign will help us establish a building project, which will begin once the necessary funds are available. A multi-purpose building will be built where the vacant buildings now stand, in order to provide the necessary space needed to better serve our people and generations to come.
