WE CAN

Building for What’s Next

What if God is inviting us to take a bold step forward as a parish family? The opportunity to acquire the commercial property across the street from our church is more than a transaction—it is a moment of discernment. A moment to ask how we can better serve our families, strengthen our ministries, and prepare for the future of our parish.

Through the We Can Capital Campaign, we are prayerfully working to acquire and prepare this space so it may serve our community's needs for generations to come.

Many Paths. One Shared Mission.

 FAQs

  • This property is the last unrestricted space near our church campus. As noted in our campaign materials. it represents a rare opportunity to expand without relocating or fragmenting parish life. If we do not act now, this opportunity may not return.

  • We are purchasing 823 Wakefield, which includes approximately:

    • 12,000 square feet of building space

    • 29,700 square feet of land

    This under-roof space is roughly equal to the East and West Halls combined, allowing us to expand formation, ministry, and community life.

  • The total projected investment is $3.5 million, which includes:

    • $2.3 million purchase price

    • Approximately $1.2 million in renovation and remodeling

    Our goal is to complete this effort responsibly and prayerfully.

  • The building will need updates to become suitable for ministry use — including improvements for safety, accessibility, rooms, gathering spaces, and parish functions. Renovations ensure the space truly serves our mission.

  • This purchase is not simply about adding square footage. Following the acquisition, the parish will enter into a comprehensive mission planning process to prayerfully discern how to best utilize our entire campus — including this new building — in a way that strengthens formation, fosters community, and aligns with our long-term vision.

    This ensures that every space we steward is intentionally used for mission, not merely occupied.

  • Yes. As noted in the campaign announcement, the Archdiocese has approved the purchase of the property. This effort is moving forward with diocesan support and oversight.

  • This campaign is separate from regular offertory giving. Parishioners are encouraged to maintain their weekly support of parish operations while prayerfully discerning a gift to the campaign as they are able.

  • Our leadership team is committed to responsible stewardship. Financial updates will be shared transparently. The campaign plan includes structured pledges and careful oversight to ensure sustainability.

  • Parishioners will be invited to make pledges fulfilled over a defined period of time (24 months). This allows families to participate in a way that is manageable and prayerfully considered.

  • We invite all parishioners to attend one of our informational sessions following Mass the weekend of February 14-15th. There will be refreshments, a brief presentation, and time for discussion and Q&A.

    This is a moment of faith for our parish. As Isaiah reminds us:

    “Enlarge the space for your tent… lengthen your ropes and make firm your pegs.” (Isaiah 54:2)

We Can. Together.

We invite you to prayerfully consider how you may participate in this effort.
