Capital Campaign Discernment

Caring for Today, Preparing for Tomorrow

St. Clare’s Discernment Process Report

Many thanks to all 100 people who participated in the small group discernment conversations about a capital campaign at St. Clare’s. The leadership team summarized the (anonymous) notes from the discussions in a report, along with a set of FAQs from more factual questions raised during the discussion. The Vestry received these at their November meeting, and is now passing them along to everyone to read. The Vestry also voted to proceed to the feasibility phase of the campaign, which will be introduced in January. They invite you to read the report and FAQ, and to attend a BREAD talk on December 7 to talk further about the report and process!
