The Marian Monastery and Chapel building project was determined by the Marian Fathers’ leadership based on their current and future needs. The project was then tested through personal interviews, focus groups, and an e-survey during the feasibility study conducted by Ruotolo Associates. Building cost estimates were provided by our general contractor, which determined our goal.

The campaign supports the needed Marian Monastery and Chapel project and is separate from the regular donations. The Marians
are grateful for all donations received throughout the year. Your generous on-going contributions are needed for regular operating expenses and are not
designated for capital improvements or repairs. Ideally, our Orders’ ordinary income should be at least equal to its ordinary expenses (utilities, supplies,
services, employee salary and benefits, insurance, etc.). Capital projects are considered extraordinary expenses that need additional funding.

The Marians are grateful for any donation to support the campaign. Should you choose to make a pledge, we understand that is a very personal decision. This campaign is a unique opportunity for the Marian Fathers to continue as a vibrant community. Ultimately, we ask that you consider your sacrificial gift in terms of your overall stewardship to our religious order, and what this project means to you, your family, and the future of the Marians. We have been blessed by the sacrifices of those who came before us.

Making a pledge as opposed to a one-time gift allows you to make a larger gift to this campaign over a designated period of time. We are asking donors to fulfill their pledges over a five-year period.

The duration of the capital campaign will be approximately eighteen months, which will provide sufficient time for donors to prayerfully consider their pledge amount. A pledge redemption period of 60 months will follow the capital campaign. Construction will begin once 90% of the project goal has been funded.
