Capital Campaign: 'Rooted in Faith — Forward in Hope'

Arlington Bishop Paul S. Loverde publicly announced in May 2002 the start of an ambitious Capital Campaign "Rooted in Faith - Forward in Hope." It is the first campaign of this magnitude ever conducted in the 29-year history of the Arlington Diocese. The minimum campaign goal was $75 million. As of March 30, 2006, more than $115 million had been pledged, with more than $65 million earmarked for major diocesan projects.

The Campaign logo (pictured at right) was designed by Fr. Donald Rooney, administrator of St. Mary Parish in Fredericksburg.

Below are some of the Campaign stories that the Arlington Catholic Herald has featured along the way.
