With great joy and gratitude to God, I am pleased to report that the active phase of the Paulist Fathers’ “Hope for the Future” comprehensive campaign has been completed.

Thanks to the generosity of you, and more than 2,700 donors like you, we have raised $30.2 million in gifts and pledges during this historic effort. To date, we have already received $18 million in gifts and pledge payments.

This incredible support will allow us to complete construction of the Paulist House of Mission and Studies, our new, right-sized seminary in Washington D.C. It is slated for a blessing and ribbon-cutting ceremony this fall! You can follow the construction at paulist.org/construction.

The campaign also has helped us shore up our support for senior Paulists, providing for their needs in retirement, and address deferred maintenance at our Motherhouse and other locations. Your gifts also have strengthened our ministries such as Paulist Press, Busted Halo and Landings International.

This campaign’s generous donors — spanning 40 states, the District of Columbia and four countries — have given us Paulists much hope for the future!

Thank you, and may God abundantly bless you and your loved ones!

Yours in the Risen Christ,

Fr. Eric Andrews, C.S.P.
Past President, The Paulist Fathers
