Send one of our Leaders to Heaven (and Back)
For the month of April leading up to the Night of Spirit Auction, Holy Spirit will be collecting “votes” to send either Fr. Dan Haugan or Dr. Mary Adrian to Heaven (figuratively speaking) and back. Vote by depositing money in one of two ballot boxes that will available after Masses at the back of Church, in Howley Hall during hospitality Sundays, in the Parish Office during the week and at a table during the Silent Auction portion of the Night of Spirit. $1 equals 1 vote. This is one time that you can vote early, vote often, and vote for both candidates! No vote is too small or too big. A running tally of votes will be posted near the ballot boxes and in Parish/School communications. Whoever receives the most votes has agreed to parachute out of an airplane! Our goal is to raise $7500 in honor of Holy Spirit’s 75th Anniversary. If we reach that goal, Fr. Haugan and Dr. Adrian have agreed that they will both jump out of an airplane! But wait, there is more! During the Live Auction portion of the Auction, we will announce our leader who received the most votes. At that point, you will have the opportunity to bid on the chance to go to Heaven and back with the winner(s)! Whoever bids the most during the Live Auction can choose between two options: (1) going to Heaven with Fr. Dan or Dr. Adrian – in other words, you will get to jump out or the airplane with Fr. Dan or Dr. Adrian! or (2) if the winning bidder is not interested in going to Heaven right now, they can choose the alternative of a party for 10 to watch Fr. Dan or Dr. Adrian jump out of the plane.
