Pilot parishes key to campaign's $16.7 million start
Brian T. Olszewski reported in "our" Milwaukee Catholic Herald, March 6, 2008, on the first stage of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee's $105 million Faith In Our Future capital campaign.
Results were mixed at the individual parishes examined in more detail.
As of Feb. 25, according to the archdiocesan development office, revenue raised in 12 pilot parishes and through major gifts totaled $16,770,229. Donations have come from 4,937 people. Collectively, the pilots have raised 90 percent of their combined benchmarks.

I would think that the results would be mixed. This campaign seems like they are trying to raise money for the sake of raising money, I mean Catholic education. It's a waste of time and energy when the Archdiocese just had to eliminate over 30 jobs. Maybe more emphasis should be put on the Stewardship Appeal.
