Oversaw the overall development of the parish and was the first development director in the parish's history dating back nearly 140 years.Shortly before being bought on-board, the parish hired the Steier Group and, with them, implemented a capital campaign that has raised over $7 million to date-- $806k of which I personally solicited.I am responsible in establishing the first ever alumni association, an annual fundraising gala to be held during the fall of 2017,as well as holding annual wills/planned giving seminars.I see this position as a ministry as I strive to make the act of giving a part of one's spiritual life. To quote Fr. Henri Nouwen on the aspect of fundraising as an act of conversion: "As a form of ministry, fundraising is as spiritual as giving a sermon, entering a time of prayer, visiting the sick or feeding the hungry."
