Every parish in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is asked to participate in the IGNITE: Our Faith, Our Mission campaign. The active phases of the campaign will run from January 2017 through December 2018.  Each parish will conduct its campaign in one of four blocks within that time-frame. St. Ambrose campaign will begin in the fall of 2018.

Individual Parish Needs — $50 million
Every parish within the Archdiocese has its own needs, unique challenges and goals. Some parishes may require new construction or building renovations while others may need to reduce debt or establish endowments for parish and school staff. In the end, these investments will enable parishes to better proclaim to parish families the teachings of Christ and the mission of the Church.

A financial return to each parish has been incorporated into this campaign. As the parish raises monies to reach their goal, 33 percent of the funds collected will be returned to the parish while 67 percent is designated for the Archdiocese case elements.
