Pledging

We invite you to participate in this three-year spiritual revival which is modeled after capital campaigns, with pledges playing a key role. The pledge will be a declaration of the extra things you intend to do to grow spiritually. This is a one-year pledge, with an opportunity to pledge anew in year two and year three.

This campaign has three age-appropriate pledge forms:

• Young Children (PreK - 5th grade)
• Older Children and Teens (6th - 12th grade)
• Adults

Instructions on pledging:

1. Choose your Pledge Form to make your commitment. Each person should fill out their own form based on their personal commitments.

2. Print off 2 copies of the pledge form; one copy for the church and one for yourself.

3. Your name is optional. If you would like a monthly E-Flame (a spiritual reminder for reflection and encouragement sent via email) be sure to print your email address clearly.

4. Choose a few spiritual growth options – or create your own and add them in the space provided on the form. Quality is more important than quantity.

5. Return one Pledge form to the Parish

• Leave in a drop-off box at the church entrances or parish office or send by mail.
  
• Pledges can be returned any time.

Be creative in thinking of a good place to keep your pledge where you will be reminded and encouraged throughout the year!

Choosing to do a few things well will trim the wick and turn up the flame:

• Be fearless and full of energy when making your pledge. Be courageous. Look beyond the values of this world to the values of the next.
  
  
• When fulfilling your pledge, be attentive. Plan time in your day or week to fulfill your pledge. Keep the fervor alive. Do not be distracted.
  
  
• Make use of the monthly E-Flame spiritual reminder to keep you moving forward. If you stray from your plan, use prayer time to focus on renewing your pledge.
  
  
• Share your excitement and joy with friends and family. Let your flame burn bright for all to see!
