Building Our Legacy
A Capital Campaign for St. Elizabeth Parish
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!
Student “Thank You Blessing” for Buildings
After our school mass on Wednesday, May 6th, STE students crossed Main Street for a special Thank You blessing for our buildings at 2 E. 75th and 4 E. 75th (the old convent/little school/parish offices). Immediately, everyone noticed a beautiful arc of light directly above the buildings! What an incredible moment as we said thank you and goodbye to these special buildings on our campus. As we look forward to the future of Building Our Legacy, we also look back in gratitude on our history and what has come before us.
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 The parish will remove the vacant convent and outdated Parish Ministry Center and replace them with approximately 54 additional parking spaces.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.
