Our Need:

 
  • Relocate offices for priests and staff when forced to eliminate trailers
  • Creatively accommodate growth and overcrowding
  • Meet the needs of youth, teens, and adults of all ages who choose to worship at St. Francis
  • Meeting these needs will deepen our relationship with Christ and each other
  Our Opportunity:
 
  • Expand our worship space with a seat for everyone - from 450 seats up to 1000
  • Create a place for Catholic hospitality after every Mass
  • Enable us to create and manage programs that change lives
  • Begin operation of our Mission Center by Jan 2009
  Why Now:
 
  • City requires that our trailers must be removed immediately
  • Plan avoids escalating costs, saving resources in the long term
  • Many Masses have standing room only; on Christmas/Easter, crowds must stand outside
  • Able to use the Mission Center in Jan 09, which completes Phase II of the approved Master Plan
