There are several giving opportunities to support the missions and ministries of the parish, Archdiocese of Milwaukee and the greater Catholic community, including our annual Mission Commitment, Transforming Our Future Building Campaign, Catholic Stewardship Campaign and Love One Another Campaign. The purpose of these important giving opportunities is outlined below.

​

• Mission Commitment: During Mission Commitment, our annual stewardship season, we are asked to make a pledge to our Financial Giving for the upcoming calendar year. Making a pledge helps us plan for the fiscal year. Your contributions to Financial Giving and the offertory is the priority, our source for operating the parish, school, and our facilities, and is the foundation of fueling our mission of forming disciples through Sunday Experience, education, discipleship programs, service, and parish life.

• Building Campaign: The Transforming Our Future five-year campaign started on January 1, 2019 and continues through December 31, 2023 for the construction of our Welcome Center. The Welcome Center has created many opportunities for us to make connections with Christ and others in our community! In early 2020, the loan on the Welcome Center had been paid off. The capital campaign plan also included the strategic decision to have funds available from the balance of the campaign pledges for the purchase and development of adjacent land as it becomes available for future growth.

• Catholic Stewardship Appeal: This appeal focuses on the daily operations of the shared missions and ministries of the Church and supports the needs of the community across the ten counties of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee which includes serving those in need, strengthening parish ministries and parish religious education, promoting evangelization, and strengthening Catholic schools and formation.

• Love One Another Campaign: This campaign covers extraordinary parish and archdiocesan needs not met through the annual Mission Commitment and the Catholic Stewardship Appeal. It focuses on preparing for the future through a five-year plan and requests pledges above and beyond our regular giving. Holy Apostles will receive 60% of the fulfilled pledges to go toward Youth and Young Adult Initiatives, Evangelization and Outreach, and Buildings & Grounds Improvements, including updating the school bathrooms and windows. The remaining 40% of funds are for new and expanded Catholic ministries for the poor and those in need, Saint Francis de Sales Seminary, Catholic schools, and vital ministries throughout the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.

Thank you for your prayerful discernment and for your generosity! Every gift, no matter its size, makes a difference in supporting our mission and ministries, supporting our parish and the community, today and for the future.
