In 2021, CtR joined 140 parishes across the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston in an effort to raise funds for the future of pastoral ministry in the region through the Ignite Capital Campaign. As part of that effort, CtR received one-third of all donations in support of Ignite to build a Marian Grotto and Prayer Garden on our parish campus. Through the generosity of parishioners, CtR raised $1,508,546.66 in campaign pledges.
In Spring 2023, CtR will begin Phase 1 of this campus beautification effort by building a shrine honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe adjacent to the current CtR prayer garden. Construction is planned to be completed in Summer 2023.
Gifts to the Ignite campaign and the Grotto and Prayer Garden project are still accepted. We are thankful for the generosity and support of our parish community in making the Grotto and Prayer Garden a reality and supporting Ignite for the greater Catholic community in the Houston area.

About Ignite
Ignite began following a 2015 planning study conducted to identify the Archdiocese’s present-day challenges and address the needs of St. Mary Seminary, as well as our area Catholic schools and faith formation at parishes.
The campaign, which aims to raise $150,000,000, kicked off in the spring of 2017, but was placed on hold following Hurricane Harvey and the Covid-19 pandemic. CtR is among the last group of Archdiocesan parishes to participate in the Ignite campaign.
Ignite has six major elements:- Individual Parish Needs
- St. Mary’s Seminary
- Catholic School Education Endowments
- Future Disaster Recovery Fund
- Rebuilding Our Parishes and Schools in Light of Hurricane Harvey
- Faith Formation Endowment Fund
-
How to Give
All gifts and pledges for the Ignite campaign must be submitted through the Archdiocese. Gifts can not be submitted through FaithDirect.

Marian Grotto & Prayer Garden Expansion at CtR
-
Over the years, CtR has seen the completion of several campus projects to better serve our ever-growing parish community. Now, we look forward to a project that tends to the spiritual needs of our hearts and creates a space where all can rest in prayer and contemplation with our Lord and Our Lady. Please note the below renderings are conceptual and may not depict the final design.

Our Goal
We hope to raise $3 million in this good-faith effort campaign with the Archdiocese.
Every $1 of $3 given is returned to the parish. With $3 million in pledges, CtR can fund this campus beautification project without incurring additional debt. We are committed to fulfilling existing debt obligations associated with the Redeemer Activity Center and will not grow our current debt with this project.
