Heart of a Shepherd is a diocesan-wide campaign to raise $30 Million to renovate the living spaces and chapel at Borromeo and St. Mary Seminaries in Cleveland, fully fund the retired priest pension fund, and to establish an endowment to assist newly ordained priests with college debt. A good portion of the money we raise will stay here at St. Patrick Parish to support some of our capital improvement needs including re-leading the stained glass windows in the sanctuary and choir loft, weatherizing the roof, and preventing basement flooding.
Our parish goal is $81,623. For every dollar raised up to that amount, 65% will assist with our St. Patrick Parish capital improvement needs, and 35% will assist with the diocesan campaign. For every dollar raised OVER our parish goal, 80% will stay here at our parish for capital needs, and 20% will assist with the diocesan campaign.
Thanks to the generosity of our parishioners, we are pleased to report that we have surpassed our parish goal of $81,623! For every dollar pledged now and in the future, 80% will return to meet our capital needs.
