CARMEL MISSION OPEN INVITATION
Dear Friends of Carmel Mission,
As we welcome all our visitors to the U.S. Open,
and express the wish that all have enjoyed some wonderful golf, as well as our unique Carmel hospitality, I’m happy to announce our very own Carmel Mission Open!
We are now coming towards the end of our 2019 Annual Ministries Appeal. Thanks to your generosity, we have given $50,000.00 to assist our Diocesan ministries. We have also raised the significant sum of $80,000.00 for our Renew A Pew Campaign. Our goal is to raise another $20,000.00 before our campaign closes.
Our Carmel Mission Open is an open invitation to all who join us in our beautiful Basilica to help us meet our goal. We are now in a good spot on the fairway, with the 18th hole in sight!
We have been given a matching donation of $10,000.00 by a very generous donor. That means that we need your assistance, if you’re able and willing to help us, to raise a matching sum of $10,000.00.
I know that with your support we can achieve our goal. Our beautifully renewed pews have been greatly admired by parishioners and visitors alike. They will add to the beauty of our Basilica for many years to come.
We have substantially increased the number of participants in our AMA 2019 Campaign and now have more participants than any other parish in our diocese. If you have not yet participated, please accept our Open invitation. If you have already participated, we thank you for your great generosity.
When we work together as an active parish community, we can achieve great things together for the greater glory of our Triune God.
Just take a look at Crespi Parish Hall and the way it has been restored! Once again, thanks to your generosity in our previous AMA Campaigns.
We make no apologies to anyone for being a Catholic community that welcomes all who come to us. We are proud to be carrying on the work of our Founder and First Pastor, St. Junipero Serra, who first preached about the mystery of the Trinity and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in this sacred space.
We will together move Always Forward, Never Back!
Blessings,
Fr. Paul
