Pastors will be contacted by their director in late March or early April. 8) Parish case statements must be approved by the Regional Bishop. This is facilitated through the campaign office. When available funds due to a parish for its parish share are flowed, the funds must be used for the purposes described and approved in the parish case statement brochure. Additional plans contemplated for additional projects when a parish surpasses its goal, must be approved. Changes or additions to plans should be brought to the attention of John Ecker who will facilitate review and approval. 9) The Archdiocese of Toronto takes donor accountability very seriously. Pastors are being kept up to date regarding their campaign s finances (donations, pledges, available funds). The archdiocesan website, campaign website and direct communication to donors will help ensure transparency and the sharing of timely information. 10) A gift to the Family of Faith campaign is intended to be sacrificial. That means we are asking for parishioner support above and beyond what they are already doing to support their parish offertory, ShareLife and other very worthy causes.
