Your support of 2018 Archbishop's Catholic Appeal will fund nearly 40 archdiocesan programs. All members of our parish are asked to support the Appeal. Please watch the video. Thank you for your charity.

Give to the Most High as He has given to you, generously, according to your means. (Sirach 35:9)

The Church does not have any hard-and-fast rules for financial support. We are simply asked to give according to our means. However, in scripture, the Israelites were asked to give God ten percent of their harvest, and the tithe has become a standard for most Christian communities, including Our Lady of Fatima. We ask that each family apportion their tithe as follows:

• 5% to Our Lady of Fatima Parish
• 1% to the Archdiocese of Denver
• 4% to other charities

Some families may have difficulty giving 5%. If so, try increasing your current level by 1 or 2 percent of income. Over time, with careful budgeting, most families can reach the 5%.

Our Lady of Fatima has retained the services of the Cosgriff Company to conduct a confidential follow up feasibility study for us to gauge acceptance to our proposed Capital Campaign project. The feasibility study has two options to participate:

• Respond by filling out an in-pew survey, or
• Respond using our online survey link.

The combination of these methods will help us focus our attention and energy on areas of special importance to you as we prioritize our goals and objectives for the next few years.

You will not be asked for a donation, just your opinions. Your input now will benefit our community for generations to come. Click here to complete the survey online. Thank you!

For more details, read Father Henri's letter about the campaign.

The 2018 Sundancer Gala was a great success. Over $100,000 was raised for both the school and parish. This year’s paddle raiser will go towards an electronic message board to display school and parish announcements on the corner of 20th & Miller. Thank you for being part of our Our Lady of Fatima family!

The Catholic Foundation was established in 1998 as a framework for current and deferred major gifts and endowments to Catholic organizations. Our Lady of Fatima Parish has partnered with The Catholic Foundation of Northern Colorado to provide for future needs and ministries by stewarding gifts to the Our Lady of Fatima Parish & School Fund.

Creating a Will is an important way to record and remember what matters most to you, including your parish and our Catholic community. The Catholic Foundation can help you understand the advantages of creating a Will - and how you can give it a way to do greater good through a bequest to Our Lady of Fatima Parish. What better way to leave your legacy than in the love of Jesus Christ?

IRA charitable rollovers are another way you and the Church can benefit. Each IRA owner over age 70 ½ may make a transfer of up to $100,000 per year to a qualified charity. IRA charitable rollovers are tax-free and not included in adjusted gross income. An IRA charitable rollover may fulfill part or all of your required minimum distribution (RMD).

For a free consultation and more information on how your gifts benefit Our Lady of Fatima Parish and School, please call Jean Finegan at 303-867-0613 or visit the Catholic Foundation website.
