Campaign Activity Report

Overview

As of September 2008, the Cathedral campaign has raised nearly $115 million in gifts and pledges for construction of the Cathedral Center of Christ the Light. Individuals, foundations, corporations and businesses, and organizations throughout the East Bay have responded generously to Bishop Allen H. Vigneron's call to help.

Major Grants

Without major assistance from two local foundations totaling $67 million, construction of the Cathedral project would not be possible. The Diocese of Oakland is honored to have received this support.

Major Gifts

In addition to the support of foundations, leadership gifts by individuals have been decisive in moving the construction progress forward.

Next Steps

A focus of the campaign will be to meet with individuals who have larger gift-giving capabilities. Bishop Vigneron has also asked that every parishioner have the opportunity to support the Cathedral before the Dedication Mass on September 25, 2008.
