Church Accessibility & Bathrooms – Accessibility improvements to our church and parish center are central to the design of a new entrance and gathering space. This new structure will connect both buildings, provide accessibility to all levels and include much needed bathrooms.
Church Undercroft – This project will enhance the existing beauty of our undercroft by upgrading lighting, flooring and fixtures. Plans also include new serving and meeting areas, as well as a catering kitchen for funeral luncheons and other activities. When completed, the project will provide a fully functioning space for meetings, gatherings, and programs, immediately adjacent to new bathrooms and elevator. With the new addition, this space will be accessible to all. Total project cost for church accessibility and undercroft: $4.2 million.
Assistance to our Sister Parish – We have established a twinning relationship with our sister Jesuit parish - St. Francis Xavier (SFX) - in NE India. STM parishioners have made two visits to SFX including one last year that included Fr. Warren, Steve Thomas (then Parish Council Chair), Barb Koenig (third grade teacher at STM grade school), and Mary Fratto. SFX is building a new church, and we would like to help them with that effort by providing a gift of $10,000 from our capital campaign. SFX is in a poor, tribal area of NE India near Bangladesh. Their current church building has a dirt floor.
