St. Anna Capital Campaign

“Build the house, that I may take pleasure in it, and that I may be glorified.”
Haggai 1:8

Haggai 1:8

The SACC is busy working toward raising the additional funds needed to finalize and attain the Atrium property as the new home of Saint Anna’s Greek Orthodox Church. It is such a wonderful and excellent opportunity for our parish to have the Atrium become available to us again.

In order to minimize the need for financing and make the acquisition of the Atrium property financially feasible for our Parish, the Parish Council has set a goal of making at least a 50% down payment when we close on the property next fall. Thanks to everyone who has already contributed to our campaign, we are very close to reaching this goal. Indeed, we already have 71% of the required down payment as cash on hand! We know that with everyone’s help, we can promptly raise the remaining 29% and reach our down payment goal!

Every dollar donated or pledged brings us one step closer to taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity given to our parish. In addition to encouraging further support from within the parish, the SACC will be reaching out to potential donors outside of our parish both locally and nationally.If you have not had the opportunity to donate to the campaign in the form of a pledge, it is not too late. Please take the time to prayerfully talk with your family and make a donation or pledge. Forms are available at the Narthex and through the church office. You can also contribute or make your pledge:

Our Coffee vs CASH monthly donation of $10 or $20 per week instead of purchasing a cup of coffee at your favorite coffee shop is still alive and well. Click here to learn more: Coffee vs. CASH Program.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact any of the Capital Campaign members or email us at stannacampaign@stannagocutah.org. You can also contact Fr. Anthony Savas at franthony@stannagocutah.org or 801-824-3987 to discuss how you and your family may be able to contribute to our fundraising efforts.

Pastoral Letter November 4, 2018

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, Have Mercy on Us.

– Trisagion Hymn

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

As the Hymn of the Heavenly Angels is being beautifully chanted, you can take a tour of our intended and hopeful property. This serves as a reminder of how this property is beautiful, well-situated, ripe for potential and begging to be an Orthodox Church. Both inside and out are blank slates that will be purposed for the glory of God and in service to His people. This video tour is of the building as it stands today. No site or interior plans have been drawn up as of yet. So for now, look, listen and pray about the innumerable possibilities.

As a due diligence status update, please know that we have been collecting proposals from local banks and lending institutions. We have scheduled inspections for the condition of the building and for the sake of future insurance coverage. We have collected the costs of overhead and maintenance. We have established a realistic, but challenging financial goal of being able to put down a 50% down payment. We will be meeting with planning and building officials with Sandy City later this morning. Finally, we have taken these professional pictures and have had them prepared for your guided inspiration, motivation toward generosity, and prayerful imagination. If this purchase is going to happen, it will literally take the participation of our entire community. We can do this.

To God be the Glory.

Enjoy.

With Love in Christ,
Fr. Anthony
