Church of the Holy Comforter | Vienna, VA
Capital Campaign Logo
In honor and celebration of Holy Comforter’s 125th Anniversary you have been asked to join our Capital Campaign, with a participation goal of 125 individuals and families. 109 families and individuals have made a pledge and/or gift and we are 87% toward our participation goal of 125. Currently we have received gifts and pledges of $1,099,825, which is $150,175 short of our need! We welcome all gifts!!
As of now, we have not reached our expressed need of $1,250,000 and, currently, we would not be able to fund all four of the priorities that have been proposed, unless we have a commitment from those who have not yet pledged. For those that have not yet joined our Campaign, we need your pledge now!
We plan on finalizing the pledging portion of our Campaign by September 15. As a reminder, gifts to the Campaign can be paid over the next three years.

Many have asked about the prioritizing and timing of these projects.
Prioritizing
The Finance Committee and Vestry will be waiting on the outcome of the pledge portion of the Campaign to determine which project(s) will be able to be funded and when. More information will be provided to you at that time.

For that reason, it is important that we receive your pledge by September 15.  

Based on the Feasibility Study conducted this past spring, the following projects are in the indicated order of priority: 

  • Priority #1: Debt Retirement
  • Priority #2: Solarization of the Campus
  • Priority #3: Relocation and Enhancement of the Choir Room
  • Priority #4: Stewardship of the Campus / Campus Improvements

It is our prayer that we will be able to move forward on all four projects, but, again, that will be dependent on total pledges to this campaign.
Timing
Project start dates will be based on total pledges received and when gifts will be made over the next three years. 
Our Prayer
Holy Comforter, you call us into friendship and shared ministry in Christ. You
remind us of our many gifts and that we are blessed by you to be a blessing. Help us to further strengthen this parish through our giving, so that we may
be better servants of your love in all that you do. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Blessings,
Your Campaign Team,
