Growing in Faith, Building Together Creciendo en la Fé, Construyendo Juntos

Our Journey as a Parish Our journey to study how our parish might add additional facilities on the new Cathedral campus started in the Summer of 2015. In consultation with our chosen firm, Cannon Architects, our parish staff and parish community developed and completed a Master Plan and Programming document.  This document details the buildings and spaces to meet our parish needs, such as social, meeting spaces, etc). The Master Plan included a new Cathedral School, Parish Center with Gym and Parish Offices. In the winter of 2015 the Building Committee was formed to study what could be built, while maintaining our Parish financial health.

Our Journey as a Parish ~continued~ Our Building Committee recommended a feasible project would include a Parish Center, to include a gym, stage, meeting spaces, social spaces, storage spaces, kitchen and sports team rooms. Outside on the campus would be a soccer field and other athletic fields. In collaboration with our Parish Council, our Cathedral School Principal's Advisory and School Improvement Committee (PASIC), the recommendation was made to retain the Cathedral School on the downtown campus, with the Building Committee to study needed upgrades and re-imagination of this campus.

Three Phases Our journey continues with three subsequent phases: Phase One: Completion of a relocated and now full size soccer field, other athletic fields and the preparation of all engineering work for Parish Center site. Phase Two: Funding development and completion of the Parish Center. Phase Three: Reimagining of the downtown Sacred Heart Campus.
