HOUSTON — In an effort to meet the needs of the growing Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, Daniel Cardinal DiNardo initiated a major capital campaign fittingly titled, “IGNITE: Our Faith, Our Mission” to raise $150 million. The IGNITE campaign has four major elements: individual parish needs, faith formation, Catholic school education and St. Mary’s Seminary.
Every parish in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is asked to participate in the IGNITE campaign. The active phases of the campaign will run from January 2017 through December 2018.

The four blocks are as follows:
Block 1 – January 2017 - June 2017;
Block 2 – July 2017 - December 2017;
Block 3 – January 2018 - June 2018;
and Block 4 – July 2018 - December 2018
