A big thanks to the Design Build Team for all the hard work and dedication throughout the Capital Campaign project during unprecedented times. As construction wraps up (there are just a few items remaining on the punch list), there are many things to be proud of. The school now has a new middle school with six new classrooms, multiple collaboration spaces, and a new roof. The new secure entry and administration area has been a major upgrade to what was there previously. The brand-new Parish Activity Center and landscaping are looking great and will be fully complete soon.
Thank you to all of those who have already made a pledge commitment to the campaign. Please visit www.cureofars.com/faith-hope-charity-campaign to keep current on the progress of the project, complete your letter of intent, or set up payment processing.

The Parish Activity Center and School Renovations have taken shape over the last few months and we are entering into the final stages. The structure for the Parish Activity Center stage is in place and the Design Build team is in the process of getting the mechanical units up and running. Cabinets and ceilings are being installed in the Middle School. The Administration/Secure Entry is almost complete with the interior storefronts being installed. As always, feel free to drive by the site and take a look as construction progresses. Be aware of potential entrance/exit closures and lane closures when coming by.
Thank you to all of those who have already made a pledge commitment to the campaign. Letters of intent are available online here.
To help track the construction projects, the new and renovated facilities will be done in three phases with staggered starts. The new Parish Activity Center (PAC) has already begun, the transformation of the existing gymnasium into the new Middle School will begin in early April, and the Administration security upgrades and renovations will begin once school is out for summer.
Thank you to all of those who have already made a pledge commitment to the campaign. We have reached $8.5 million in pledges with 37% participation. Letters of intent are available in the pew hymnal racks, the vestibule, or HERE.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support.

The design team finalized the Construction Documents this past week. The design-build team will now be putting the drawings out to bid. This is a multi-week process that will involve numerous sub-contractors bidding on various bid packages of like construction elements (carpentry, electrical, etc). At the culmination of this process, all sub-contractors will be selected and will begin preparing for construction on the Parish Activity Center to commence.
Thank you for your continued support and prayers.
Our Faith, Hope and Charity Capital Campaign is starting off with much excitement and positive feedback from early visits with fellow benefactors. Over the coming weeks, it is our goal to seek the help and support from all members of our parish community. Everyone will be fully informed and we will do our best to answer any questions you may have. The challenge laid before us is well within the grasp of our community. We will, with the support of everyone in our parish, make our vision a reality. We ask that you pray for our success and when the time comes to participate, your heart is filled with Faith, Hope and Charity.
Thank you for loving the Catholic faith and for all you do for the Parish. It is greatly appreciated and it allows us to prepare for the future generations who will walk in and out of these doors giving praise and honor to God.
