Ministering to over 12,500 Catholic Aggies, or 25% of the total student population, is a monumental task, but one lovingly undertaken by our Director of Campus Ministry, Father David Konderla and his dedicated staff. Because St. Mary’s is primarily a student parish with a small number of permanent members, there is a continuing need for financial assistance to support the campus ministry and its many programs. Our students are quite generous with their time and money, but it is not enough to sustain the operational budget. Even with a sizeable diocesan subsidy, our operational expenses far exceed the Sunday collections.
There are countless ways that people support the ministry to the Aggie Catholics. The Newman Fund, Director's Fund and Living Faith Society are just three possibilities.
NEWMAN FUND:
Members of the Cardinal Newman Fund are benefactors who make an extraordinary gift of $10,000 or more annually. Gifts received through the Cardinal Newman Fund allow Fathers David and Chris and the campus ministry staff to reach more students more effectively. Following in the footsteps of Cardinal Newman, members help bring St. Mary's Catholic Center one step closer to achieving his vision of a strong Catholic presence on campus. Membership includes special recognition in the annual report and an annual subscription to the devotional Magnificat.
DIRECTOR'S FUND:
The Director’s Fund is an integral part of maintaining the excellence of St. Mary's Catholic Center. Members of the Director’s Fund pledge an annual gift of $2,500 or more which sustains current ministry programs and enables us to enhance the ministry. Annual gifts made through the Director’s Fund help ensure that the Catholic faith is shared by future generations on the A&M campus. Membership in the Director’s Fund includes special recognition in the annual report.
LIVING FAITH SOCIETY:
One of the most significant ways you can support the Catholic Center is through the Living Faith Society. Gifts made through the Living Faith Society are drafted electronically each month directly from your checking account, making giving simple. Membership provides a stable support base that directly assists with on-going operational expenses, while reducing fundraising overhead. Members will receive the quarterly devotional, Living Faith. You can increase, decrease, hold or discontinue your contribution at any time simply by contacting St. Mary's Catholic Center.
