Marquette, MI – The Catholic Diocese of Marquette has decided to run a capital campaign. However, the campaign will not begin until the early to middle part of 2009. The wait is to allow adequate time to prepare and for the economy to improve. A number of parishes have immediate capital needs and are looking to initiate a parish capital campaign. With the knowledge that a diocesan capital campaign will proceed in six to twelve months, these parishes can plan on piggy banking their needs with the diocesan campaign. Or they can request to proceed with their own campaign now and be included as part of the diocesan campaign later.
