CCS has been privileged to partner with the Diocese of Austin on two extraordinary fundraising initiatives, most recently the Encountering Christ campaign, which concluded successfully in 2020.
With Bishop Vásquez’s leadership, the Encountering Christ campaign has to date raised more than $102 million on its $85 million goal with the recent completion of Christ the King in Belton, Texas. The campaign showed notable success from the start, receiving pledges of $20 million during the first six months of the 30-month timeline and garnering the two largest gifts in the Diocese of Austin’s 70-plus-year history.
Funds from the Encountering Christ campaign will provide for local parish needs; bolster ministries, Catholic education, and faith formation; support clergy; and enhance growth and development across the Diocese of Austin.
