St. Patrick's had met 92 percent of its goal for the 2018 appeal when an anonymous donor came forward with a $31,000 gift. "It is always so uplifting to see the generosity and commitment of our parishioner's hearts, especially considering that national headlines of late concerning other dioceses actions have been very challenging to the faithful," stated Brian L. Cooper, chief administrative officer and vice chancellor of the Diocese of Nashville. 

So far total dollars and pledges are at $1,932,978, representing 76 percent of the overall goal. There are currently 6568 donors - representing 109 percent of the goal.
