Campaign Background
In 2017, Bishop Walkowiak commissioned the first diocesan-wide capital campaign in more than two decades. Following a feasibility study among clergy and laity, diocesan and campaign leadership identified two areas of focus for the Our Shepherds – Our Future capital campaign – seminarian education and clergy retirement – and invited Catholics of the diocese to join in supporting this effort. As of Sept. 16, our campaign total was $35,944,053. This news is cause for great rejoicing!
