undation for the Future The cost of the project is an estimated $8 million. In order to pay for this, we plan to raise $6 million through the Rebuild to Serve capital campaign. The remaining $2 million will be provided for from the parish’s savings ($1 million) and Future Growth and Expansion Fund ($1 million), to which parishioners have so faithfully been contributing over the past three years. It will be a great joy for so many to see the fruits of these generous donations Growth & Expansion Fund. With the theme, Rebuild to Serve: Strengthening Our Foundation for The Future, we are launching an ambitious $6 million campaign. Ultimately, this campaign is not just about money or buildings — it’s about God’s people. It is about how can we be fruitful and grow our faith community to serve the mission set forth by the people of St. Philip Neri Catholic Church. This is

a serious and important challenge for our parish community. All of us must pray for the success of the campaign, lend our many God-given talents to its completion, and make a financial commitment on all our parts to make it happen. In the months that follow, you will receive a Rebuild to Serve brochure that will provide detailed information on the project. In addition, our website will be available 24/7 as a resource for Rebuild to Serve information, project updates, and to track campaign progress. Thank you for all you have done to make St. Philip Neri Catholic Church such an incredible parish community, as well as your generosity in this endeavor.
“As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” — 1 Peter 4:10
An Introduction to Our Capital Campaign Logo
e are excited to introduce the Rebuild to Serve campaign logo. It was designed by parishioner Joanna Gould, a graphic designer who felt a stewardship calling to offer her graphic design services to the parish as gifts of talent and time. The gear symbol was used to represent progress and connection. The spokes of the gear represent our St. Philip Neri ministries and their connection to serving the Lord, our faith family, and our community. The trio of people inside the gears represents the Holy Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The three people considered collectively represent three in company acting together as a faith community to serve the mission set forth by the people of St. Philip Neri Catholic Church. This provides a perfect representation of the goals of the campaign — to ensure the faith life of our parish family, today, tomorrow for generations to come, and provide unrestricted opportunity to carry out the mission of our parish — to form a church family dedicated to continuing the ministry of Christ.
