Supporting our Priests - Strengthening Our Church
Diocese of Davenport Capital CampaignCampaign Priorities
The Diocese of Davenport’s Upon This Rock Capital Campaign,
which kicked off in spring 2022, will focus on three key areas:
-
Priests’ retirement and health care funding
-
Seminarian education and formation
-
Strengthening parishes
The Parish Share
Funds from the campaign will be an important element for capital projects in the years ahead. With a new pastor coming soon, it will be prudent to determine the use of the fund over the three-year pledge period.
