Below is the published campaign results from a July 2011 bulletin. The O’Malley Trust pledged $50,000 this fall. If that large pledge is subtracted from the January 23, 2012 pledge total ($2,308,119 minus $50,000 equals $2,258,119), there is approximately twenty thousand dollar increase since the July 2011 numbers.($2,235,599.44 as shown below)

From what I heard at the St. James’ Education Commission meeting in December, the $50,000 O’Malley Trust pledge is conditioned upon the campaign reaching the $1,000,000 and $3,000,000 goals.

Has the campaign really progressed since July 11, 2011?

Why will Father Geary not answer questions about the new church?

Is there a problem when parishioners have to use a plea via a letter to the newspaper to receive answers regarding a church project?

Father Geary needed permission from  the diocese to solicit funds for this project, why isn’t the diocese requiring  Father Geary answer these fundamental questions?

The following Letter to the Editor was sent to the Boone County Journal because Father refuses to answer the many questions which were asked at the Community Building meeting on August 23, 2011.
