We continue to give thanks for everyone who has contributed to the St. Paul’s Capital Appeal, whether by giving time, treasure, or in many cases, both. The Appeal is an outstanding, ongoing community effort for current and future generations of St. Paul’s parishioners.  Praise be to God for the will and the means to preserve and enhance our buildings so we may better do God’s work on earth, from the corner of Aspinwall Avenue and St. Paul’s Street, here in Brookline.

Pledges and Receipts

As of December 31, 2009, St. Paul’s Capital Appeal has received pledges of $591,758, and has received a total of $457,970.39.  Our 3-year Appeal started in December, 2007.  We look forward to its’ successful conclusion in December, 2010.

What is going on with the Appeal?

Many important events have taken place over the last year.  The renovations to the Parish House and Rectory were completed.  Our new Rector, Jeffrey Mello, arrived in August, and was installed in October.  Jeff and his family, Paul and Ardani, moved into the Rectory in November.  Our congregation consists of many new faces.  In many ways, we have been made anew – buildings, Rector, and people of St. Paul’s.

In the face of such historic and invigorating changes, the Capital Appeal may seem to have faded into memory.  What remains to be done?

We hope to receive some new pledges, see original pledges fulfilled, and have some existing pledges increased.  We also plan to celebrate our achievements, follow through on memorials (many gave in memory of, or in thanksgiving for, named individuals), and acknowledge naming opportunities.
