Moving Towards Our Stretch Goal: $5 Million
Getting Closer to Our "Stretch Goal" of $5 million!
As of this past week, our new pledge total is $4.039 million from 350 parishioner households.
Follow-up letters to those who haven’t turned in pledge cards should be arriving at homes this week. We continue to thank God for the commitment and generosity of our parishioners!
We are also beginning the conversation about this project with our neighbors. We want to be good neighbors and sincerely believe that this project can be a “win-win” for us and the neighborhood. Improved traffic flow and greatly increased off-street parking are foreseen with the completion of this project. We will continue to work with city staff to be respectful and responsive to the needs of those around us.
Please consider praying a novena with your family to the Infant Jesus of Prague for the success of this project. We have entrusted this effort to His special care!
Why should people continue to make pledges?
The extent of what we build will depend on the generosity of those who have not yet finished discerning their commitment.
Examples of what still depends on how much additional funding we receive:- exact number of meeting rooms and classrooms (currently two, hoping for four or more!)
- dedicated activity space for our youth group and young adults
- finishing touches such as bleachers for the gym, curtain for the stage, A/V equipment, etc.
- convent renovation for the Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus who begin serving here in 2020
- HVAC improvements in church
- security upgrades for Holy Family Academy
- renovation of the kitchen in Fr. Moorman Hall
- parish library
Many thanks to all those who have already generously made sacrifices! This new facility will be a great blessing to everyone in the parish for generations to come!What happens next?
Our building committee will start working with architects to design the new facility. Their work will depend in part on how far we exceed our original goal of $3.5 million. Construction cannot begin until 50% of pledges have been collected—a prudent rule to avoid going dangerously into debt.

Thanks to Our Capital Campaign Committee!
The Campaign Committee has been working diligently since January to educate, inform, and inspire parishioners to make a commitment towards a new Parish Life Center. Through weekly announcements, Town Hall Meetings, and Home Gatherings, information was shared about our vision for a Parish Life Center and how everyone can help turn this long-cherished dream into a reality.
