Construction Updates
New Parish Offices
After seven months of operating out of temporary office space, we’re excited to share that we’re finally heading home. Our newly renovated parish offices are scheduled to open on Monday, October 19. What was once the parish rectory has undergone a complete transformation, creating a more welcoming, functional, and accessible space for our parish community. The renovation includes updated offices for our parish staff, improved accessibility at the building’s entrances, a larger parlor, and a brand-new meeting room. One of the things we’re most excited about is having additional gathering spaces for our parish. These improvements aren’t just about creating better office space; they’re about making the building more useful and welcoming for the entire parish community. After months of construction, temporary offices, and a whole lot of moving pieces, we’re looking forward to settling in and welcoming everyone into the new space!

Gym Vestibule and Elevator
If you’ve been near the gym lately, you’ve probably noticed quite a transformation! What was once a set of outdoor steps is becoming a brand-new, enclosed entrance that will make our gym more welcoming, functional, and accessible. The new vestibule will provide a much-improved entrance to the gym, while the addition of an elevator will provide much-needed accessibility between levels. This is an especially important improvement for our parishioners, students, families, and visitors who may have difficulty navigating stairs. While there’s still work to be done, we’re getting closer to the finish line We’re excited to see this project come together and look forward to the day when everyone can enjoy easier access to the many parish, school, and athletic activities that take place in our gym.
