Family Life Center Updates
The FLC is gaining momentum with the arrival of the Bishop’s approval for the next step in the process - drawings. We are anticipating the Architect’s timeline very soon for creating the construction drawings. The drawings are key in order to continue our march to construction! We must continue to focus on raising money for this critical building. Thanks to the ongoing support and commitment of our parishioners, we continue to accumulate money to pay for the FLC. Our next goal is $3M in the bank. We are grateful for all the financial donations. We continue to remind you of your pledge commitment and thank you for honoring your pledge commitment. If you need to make a pledge for the FLC, please contact the office 423-442-7273.
The expansion of our parish facilities, including the new Family Life Center, is not just about one ministry—it is about meeting the growing needs of our entire faith community. The rapid increase in parishioners, evidenced by crowded Masses and limited meeting space, has made it challenging to support essential ministries like RCIA, religious education, Bible studies, and various committees.
The Family Life Center will provide much-needed classrooms, a larger hall, a spacious kitchen, private offices, and storage, ensuring that our ministries and parish activities can continue to flourish. This project is not just about space—it is about strengthening our parish family, fostering deeper connections, and expanding our ability to serve both parishioners and the wider community. As our faith family grows, so must our facilities, and with everyone's support, we can make this vision a reality.
Please aid in the success of our 1st Annual Gala to benefit the Family Life Center by donating to our Gala auction. Starting next weekend, Donations Team members will be in the Narthex to collect your donations. See the Donations Form in this week’s bulletin for more information.
