Construction Updates | May 25, 2025

There has been a lot of work behind the scenes as we prepare for an addition of up to six classrooms for the school and a refurbishment of the parish hall. We have been working diligently with Mayotte Group Architects for pre-design, schematic design, design development, and construction documents. The Requests for Proposals were sent out to various construction firms on Friday, May 9. Once we receive bids we will schedule interviews with each firm and, with the help of Don Morgan, the Diocesan Building Commission, and Mayotte Group we will choose a firm to help construct the addition. This should happen by the end of the month. We plan to work through the summer to solidify the construction documents and build a budget and hope to break ground by September or October of 2025.
I want to thank everyone who has sacrificed in giving toward this endeavor! At the same time, I want to impress upon you the importance of continuing to make payments on your pledges. We will work with the Diocesan Office of Finance to take out a short-term construction loan and will use the revenue generated from the pledges to pay off the loan over the five year pledge redemption period. This will allow us to break ground and construct the classrooms before the pledge redemption period ends. Again, thank you very much for your help! This is an important endeavor and will position both the parish and the school for the future.
