Most indicated the elimination of the debt, expansion of the gathering space, addition of a larger multi-purpose meeting room, and expansion and upgrade of the kitchen as the most significant benefits.” ( from the CCS study results ) 6

Together We Grow History of the Campaign THE ORIGINAL PLAN: • Fulfill our parish obligation to the archdiocesan One Faith, One Hope, One Love campaign. • Eliminate the parish debt. • Build a community room with a serving area for easier and more frequent fellowship opportunities. • Add a day chapel to be located near the Hospitality Room. • Relocate the main entrance to the north window of the atrium. • Relocate the Rachel Weeping for Her Children statue in a dedicated and prominent location. Any money raised beyond the $3,500,000 goal is to be set aside for potential future expansions of the kitchen and meeting rooms in the Family Life Complex. 7
