STRETCHING Towards Our Stretch Goal: $5 Million
Many thanks to those who contributed at the end of December to either make payments on your prior pledges or to make new contributions to our Capital Campaign. Your Christmas spirit of gratitude to God is much appreciated!
We have safely passed the required 50% threshold of pledges paid in order to greenlight actual construction of our new facility. Your promptness will allow us to start and finish this project with minimum disruption to the school year and achieve occupancy by next Christmas!
Your generosity has brought us to $4.85 million in pledges—approximately $150k from our stretch goal! We are very close and hope that the coming months will see us surpass our goal so we can realize all of our pressing needs. The increased cost of replacing the 1950’s HVAC system in the current school building as part of this project will allow some savings in both building and operating costs. That said, it still moved our construction price upwards and makes it all the more important that we get to our stretch goal. We also still need to fund the HVAC improvements in church!
Keep praying that those who have not yet made a sacrificial pledge may be moved to become part of this beautiful project! And if you find that the booming economy allows you to increase your pledge, we would be most grateful! God bless you!
Be sure to stop downstairs and see the architectural plans for our new facility (up closer)! It is more than we had hoped for and will be a great blessing to every aspect of our parish’s life.

So, why do we need to keep raising funds to reach our stretch goal of $5 million?
What our plan currently includes:- Gymnasium/theater/event space
- New early childhood education center including two Pre-K classrooms as well as a new Kindergarten classroom
- Two beautiful parish meeting rooms—no more being stuck in the church basement or left out in the cold on a busy night when multiple groups are meeting!
- Bonus 1: Parish Library—moved from our wish list to a reality!
- Bonus 2: Extra classroom as well as breakout space for student tutoring!
What we still need to fund:- New: $120k Upgrade to full-size basketball court
- New: $??? Replace original 1950’s boiler system for the current school building with high-efficiency heating system for the whole facility—still getting pricing for this recently identified need
- $250k Convent renovation to make a home for the Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus—let’s show gratitude that our parish will have nuns again!
- $100k HVAC upgrade for church to install better temperature controls as well as expand air conditioning to include the vestibules and sacristy
- $??? Youth and young adult ministry space: pray for a new Nazareth House!
Please keep praying—we need everyone’s help to meet our $5 million stretch goal!
