Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am writing to you with immense gratitude and joy in my heart as we have successfully concluded the On the Way – ¡Ándale! capital campaign. The Church has united in a remarkable display of generosity, faith, and commitment demonstrating our shared mission of forming missionary disciples of Jesus Christ.
Through your sacrificial giving, we met our goals, raising $60,647,602 in gifts and pledges for the vital projects and initiatives that will strengthen our parishes and extend the reach of our ministry far into the future. This achievement is a testament to the dedication and love you have for our faith and our local communities.
The monies raised through this campaign have enabled us to provide resources for improvements at each of our parishes, establish new churches to serve our growing community, fund renovations at our seminary to better serve the men in formation, expand the reach of Catholic Charities, focus and invest in our Catholic schools, and build a pilgrimage center which will serve as an evangelization tool for our community and beyond. Each of these projects is an investment in our future, providing resources to ensure that we are able to grow spiritually, serve compassionately, and boldly spread the Gospel.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who contributed to this campaign, whether through financial gifts, prayers, or volunteering your time and talents. Your generosity has made a difference and will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.
As we celebrate the fruits of the On the Way – ¡Ándale! campaign, let us give thanks to Almighty God for His abundant blessings and guidance throughout this journey.
May Our Lady of Guadalupe continue to guide and bless our archdiocesan family as we journey together in faith.
With deep appreciation and continued prayers for each of you,
Yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Gustavo Garcia-Siller, MSpS
Archbishop of San Antonio
