Forward in Faith

The Time is Now

"Over the past six years among you, I have witnessed your love and fidelity to the mission of SJV parish. I am convinced that embarking upon and supporting our "Forward In Faith" campaign will guarantee that our church building will remain structurally sound so as to enable faith and our mission to continue to flourish into the future. Now is the time."

Fr. Paul Ugo Arinze (former Pastor)

I am very appreciative of Fr. Paul's leadership in initiating the Forward in Faith Captial Campaign. By God's grace I will continue the mission he began in 2023 to allow our parish to continue to flourish into the future. I am very grateful to all of our parishioners who have generously supported our parish in the early months of our Forward in Faith Campaign. -Fr. Eric Nielsen, Pastor

St. John Vianney's Parish and Finance Councils, in conjunction with Father Paul, have thoroughly reviewed the results of our planning study and weighed the needs of the parish at this time.

After a great deal of strategic planning and prayerful discernment, the decision was made to move "Forward in Faith".

Prayer for SJV Forward In Faith Capital Campaign

Loving and gracious God, we come to You in thanksgiving for the assurances of Your mercy and Your grace. Your goodness is without measure and Your faithfulness is everlasting. God, You alone make every grace abundant. Strengthen our faith and love, so that we may become Your good and faithful stewards.

We humbly pray for strength and fortitude to follow Your great commission: to go make disciples of all people, living our faith through word and deed. Inspire in Your people generous hearts to support our Forward In Faith capital campaign. Guide us in this important campaign and watch our effort to continue to grow faith and nourish Your people here at St. John Vianney Parish.

Lord, may Your Holy Spirit help us in this endeavor so that the Forward In Faith campaign will come to completion under Your guidance. Amen

St. John Mary Vianney, pray for us!
