After several years of meetings, planning, and prayer, Our Lady of Lourdes and St. John Vianney have come together to transform into one school.

One Faith, One Family, One Future Capital Campaign Updates. Moving Forward Under The Direction of St. Joan of Arc Foundation.

We are excited to share that Claudia Meenan, most recently the Donor Services & Operations Director for the Moline Regional Community Foundation, has come on board as the Director of Development for St. Joan of Arc Foundation. She will be working with Tim Voss, our Steier Group campaign manager, and with parish staff during January as we transition into the pledge-fulfillment phase of the campaign.

As we begin 2024, we also begin the pledge fulfillment phase for our capital campaign. This is the time during which we hope to receive more than $12.7 million in unpaid pledges—approximately 80% of the more than $16.9 million pledged to date. (The remaining 20% has been received.)

Looking Back in Gratitude, Eagerly Awaiting Blessings Yet to Come

Thank you to everyone who has helped us raise, as of Dec. 22, more than $16.7 million toward our One Faith – One Family – One Future Challenge Goal of $25 million. (A complete list of donors-to-date can be found on the campaign website.)

New gifts and pledges have been rolling in ever since the start of our campaign’s Commitment Weekend on December 2-3, when we were excited to announce that we had surpassed the Celebration Goal of $15 million. When the December 17 bulletin went to print on 12/11, we were at $15.85 million. Today, we stand at $16.48 million from 982 decisions. And pledges and gifts, both small and large, continue to come in!

New gifts and pledges have been rolling in ever since the start of our campaign’s Commitment Weekend last Saturday. We were excited to announce that we had surpassed the Celebration Goal of $15 million. In just three days, we added over $650,000 in new gifts and pledges, bringing our total to $15,707,288 in gifts and pledges.

Welcome to Commitment Weekend! The formal push for our One Faith – One Family – One Future Capital Campaign is winding down, and we’re grateful for the continued generosity of the St. John Vianney and Our lady of Lourdes faith family. We kicked off the public phase of our effort three months ago, and since then we’ve seen the fundraising totals gradually climb.
