Witness to HOPE Building Campaign

In 2015, our Finance Council began talks on reviewing previous building plans that were created before the recession hit.  After revising those plans over the next year, we developed with the help of Swanson & Swanson Architects for a new set of building plans and then we held a few town hall meetings to get imput from the parish to produce a final version.  This version was approved by the Diocesan Building Committee and just the past few months we got approval for a loan from the Diocesan Finance Council and are currently in the beginning stages of completing the steps needed with the goal (& hope) to obtain contractor bids in early 2018 so that we can break ground late Spring or early Summer of 2018.

Over that time period, Bishop Boyea was working with all the Pastors to kick off the 2016 Witness to HOPE Capitol Campaign which we joined with 16 other parishes as part of the first group to begin raising funds.  Our goal was to raise $2.5 million dollars for this much needed expansion that would house our parish offices and additional meeting/classroom space at one location. 

So far we have received a little over $2,370,000 in pledges
towards our 2.5 million goal!
  Just over 500 households made a pledge/donation!

If you have not made a contribution (of any amount; big or small) please join in being an active part of building legacy for our [your] parish community so that the glory of God will be experienced for generations to come.  Amen!
