Heritage of Hope Capital Campaign
The Capital Campaign continues with more contributions every day! Thanks to our generous supporters, as of June 16, we have raised 92% of our $9 million goal. Phase One of the monastery’s living space renovations are underway. We continue to reach out to the community to help us reach our goal so that we can:
- Address program support and funding of unanticipated ministry needs.
- Attract business and grant funding for ministry capital projects as an investment in the revitalization of inner-city neighborhoods.
You can learn more about our ministries “at-a-glance” by getting the current issue of the Mount magazine.
