This two-part session gives witness to boundless Catholic generosity; shows how to astound your skeptics and reveals how to blow by your campaign goal! The Diocese of Pittsburgh never before had conducted a comprehensive, diocesan-wide campaign. “Time was not right; the goal, too ambitious” following so closely the “great recession.” But Bishop David Zubik focused instead on his pastoral vision The Church Alive! and on the resources for mission. Results far exceeded anything anticipated. Three campaign leaders share how Pittsburgh’s Catholic community responded when the campaign focus was not about the money!
