Capital Campaign

We are excited to relay that soon you will begin seeing activity around the “pit” area behind the church in preparation for the foundation work for the new Community Center.  The trailer currently in the space will be moved and utilities will be relocated and staked.  Regrettably, we will be unable to have a Festival this year, at least in the format the parish is used to. 

Our construction manager is putting the plans out to bid this month.  Unfortunately we are already aware that due to the economy, inflation and the cost of raw materials, project costs will be higher than our last estimate which was completed in August of 2021.  As bids are finalized, we will evaluate our timeline and next steps regarding the new project costs and longer contractor lead times that also exist in the current market.  If you have not had a chance to make a campaign pledge and would like to, please click the form to the left.

The committee is also interested in trying to lower expenses thru gifts-in-kind.  If you are affiliated with a qualified contractor in the commercial building industry, and would like your firm to be considered as a vendor and/or with possible in-kind assistance, please email campaign@stcolumban.org.

Thanks again to the many who are faithfully fulfilling their pledges in a timely fashion to keep us on track with our timeline.  We couldn’t do it without you!
