Capital Campaign
Campaign Goal

Campaign Time: 3-year Period, 2025-2028
50% Required to Begin Building
Saint Aelred Catholic Church is ready to pick up and set sail for home! But like Noah or Aeneas, we will have to build the home we have been promised but have never dwelt in.
About
​We are going to build a single building as our new Church. The Church building will be set apart as a holy space, like ours currently is. It will not be multi-purpose, and we intend to make more beautiful than our current space. This will be the initial building to break ground on a larger Parish Campus that will be a little Eden present in Oconee County to guard and administer the Lord's sacraments for the faithful.
A capital campaign pledge is not a replacement for one's usual tithe. Tithes pays the bills, so we don't want to rob Peter to pay Paul. The tithe is a matter of justice, of fulfilling the Church's precept to provide for the material means of the Church. The capital campaign pledge is a matter of charity, an outpouring of the love of God, given to as a gift in the sacraments, given back to God for the sake of Christ and his Church. Love is the mutual gift giving of good things that Christ may become all in all. A pledge therefore is an act of charity, of love.​
