We recently reached an important milestone in our campaign: we passed the halfway point towards our campaign goal of 6.5 million dollars!

We were able to accomplish this just before the one-year anniversary of Grow Where You Are Planted. This achievement is largely due to the parishioners of St. Isidore’s. They constitute over two-thirds of the donors to the campaign and about 80% of the pledges to the campaign. Moreover, our own faithful have already donated $1,574,838 in actual dollars.

Needless to say, this is extremely encouraging! I give thanks to God and to St. Joseph for your generosity, which has far exceeded my expectations and is a testimony to your love for the faith and the holy traditions of the Catholic Church.

As we begin this new year 2026, our new roof is being installed and will be completed next month. The roofers are doing a thorough job and are taking every care that our roof will not leak by installing sheathing, extending the gutters beyond the wall line, and making the gutters sufficient in number and capacity to handle the volume of water that comes off the roof in a heavy rain.

Later in this year, we will seek to repair the brick and the stone on the church in order to complete the repairs necessary for its long-term future to be ensured.

Please continue your daily prayers to St. Joseph for the campaign as we enter into its second year. We will count on St. Joseph’s continued intercession throughout this new year 2026. Thank you for all you have done and will continue to do for our campaign and for St. Isidore’s!

God bless you, Fr. Paul Robinson, SSPX Prior
