Some frequently asked questions about the On the Way - ¡Ándale! Capital Campaign: How are the parish targets set and how much is my parish going to receive? The campaign target for each parish is established at 1.3 times its average offertory for the last three fiscal years. Parishes with a three-year average offertory of $500,000 or less will receive 40%; offertory between $500,000 and $1.3 million will receive 35%; and those with an offertory over $1.3 million will receive 30%. If the parish does not reach their monetary target, is it responsible for the difference? Parishes will not be assessed penalties if they do not reach their fundraising target. The expectation is that parishes put forth a good faith effort to follow the recommendations of the archdiocese and the Steier Group in conducting the campaign. Will funds for the On the Way - ¡Ándale! Capital Campaign reduce offertory support for the parish? It is important to emphasize that all gifts to this campaign should not reduce other giving commitments to the Church. A gift to the campaign is and extraordinarily generous gift made freely and faithfully to meet the extraordinary challenges and opportunities pre-sented through the campaign. ***Algunas preguntas frecuentes sobre la Campaña de Capital On the Way - ¡Ándale!: ¿Cómo se fijan los objetivos de una parroquia y cuánto va a recibir mi parroquia? El objetivo de la campaña para cada parroquia está fijado en 1.3 veces su ofertorio promedio durante los últimos tres años fiscales. Las parroquias con un ofertorio promedio de tres años de $ 500,000 o menos, recibirán el 40%; aquellos entre $ 500,000 y $ 1.3 millones recibirán 35%, y aquellos con un ofertorio de más de $ 1.3 millones recibirán el 30%. Si la parroquia no alcanza su meta recaudatoria, ¿es responsable de la diferencia? Las parroquias no serán sancionadas si no alcanzan su objetivo de recaudación de fondos. La expectativa es que las parroquias hagan un esfuerzo de buena fe para seguir las recomendaciones de la Arquidiócesis y el Grupo Steier en la conducción de la campa-ña. Los fondos donados a la Campaña On the Way - ¡Ándale!, ¿reducirán el apoyo del ofertorio a la parroquia? Es importante enfatizar que todos los donativos otorgados a esta campaña no deben reducir otros compromisos de dádivas a la Igle-sia. Un donativo a la campaña es un obsequio extraordinariamente generoso, hecho en ejercicio de la propia fidelidad y libertad, para enfrentar los extraordinarios desafíos y oportunidades presentados a través de la campaña.
