Campaign Updates

We have reached our campaign commitment goal of $5.5 Million. Thank you to everyone who made a commitment to our campaign, to our future and to our legacy.

Not yet made your campaign commitment? You can still do so! With the rising cost of construction materials every dollar helps. If you have already pledged, Thank You! If you have not yet submitted your pledge, please prayerfully make your pledge today!

Steel Beams and Frame goes up

On a recent blustery, drizzly day, the white beam that parishioners signed was installed in what will be the chapel. This is known as the "Topping Out," a traditional construction milestone where the final or one of the highest beams is placed on top of a structure, completing its main frame. If you happen to walk by the site on 75th Street, you can see the beam parishioners signed! It's the horizontal white beam on the back/east side of the chapel.

Campus Improvements

The Building Our Legacy Campaign will enable St. Elizabeth to construct a Gathering Center. The Gathering Center will feature a Chapel that will provide an intimate, spiritual space for daily Masses, prayer experiences for school classes, small memorial services, and daily prayer. Parishioners will converse, deepen fellowship, share a meal, or bereave a loved one in the new Social Room. For informal gatherings, an adjacent and inviting community patio and fire pit will welcome guests.

The Scouts will have a room and access to separate outdoor space for meetings and ceremonies. The Food Pantry will operate effectively from the Gathering Center. And the Parish Staff will have new workspaces to conduct daily business efficiently in a welcoming, comfortable environment.

St. Elizabeth will update the current garden and green space on the east side of Main to a multi-purpose field. The grotto that honors the Blessed Virgin Mary will be moved to the south side of the multi-purpose field. The parish will remove the vacant convent and outdated Parish Ministry Center and replace them with approximately 54 additional parking spaces. Finally, to strengthen our financial health, St. Elizabeth plans to retire its debt associated with the construction of the ECC and the purchase of the rectory.
