To address the space needs of our parish family, including seniors, PREP/CCD, St. Eleanor School families, and our young families requires that several bold projects be undertaken. These include:

1. New meeting space for groups of 200-400+ people.
2. Ten (10) new rooms for additional PREP/CCD and school classes, and smaller class sizes.
3. Separate, dedicated gym, new cafeteria and library for more activities and ease of scheduling.
4. Space for enrichment programs such as science, language, art and music.

Creating a Parish Center affords us the opportunity to strengthen and grow our parish. It also allows more people to participate and benefit from the many things that our parish community has to offer. These include:

1. Creating a place for people to participate and lead in the many ministries and activities within our parish;
2. Strengthening the existing academic and faith-based education for our children in St. Eleanor School and the PREP program;
3. Providing more classrooms and smaller class sizes for the children to receive faith education through St. Eleanor School and PREP; and
4. Creating a sense of belonging among parishioners through greater opportunities for participation in ministries of the Church and the CYO program.
