How will this campaign affect my parish?
All parishes, regardless of size or location, will be positively impacted by a successful campaign. Some parishes will receive direct support through grants that will help remove barriers to growth. Other parishes will send their kids to Summer Camp at Camp McDowell and see their young people transformed by the lessons they learn in a renewed Eppes Hall.
And still other parishes will take part in pilgrimages to sacred sites around our diocese, including Good Shepherd in Montgomery, and find new pathways to racial healing along the way. The campaign will elevate the profile of the Diocese of Alabama and help our parishes attract the best clergy leadership for years to come. There is something for everyone in the wide vision of this campaign, and it will touch every corner of our diverse diocese.
