Our Goal:

To raise the remaining $45,000 needed to finish resurfacing the main playground, building on the strong foundation already laid in 2024. Every gift helps complete this essential improvement for our children and parish family.

Finish the Foundation

Last year, our parish family showed remarkable generosity during iGiveCatholic. Together, we raised $21,111 across 103 gifts, allowing us to fully replace the surface of the small playground. The results have already blessed our school and parish families. The upgraded space is safer, more welcoming, and has quickly become a favorite spot for children and parents at community events.

This year, we return to the project with grateful hearts and renewed purpose. We have begun the work. Our children are already enjoying the benefits. Now we invite you to help us finish our foundation by funding the remaining playground surface.

It’s time to complete what we started and give our children a space worthy of their joy, safety, and community life.

Why This Project Matters

Our playground is a place of:

Completing the final playground surface ensures our parish continues investing in the daily experiences of our children and the future of our community.

Become an Angel Sponsor:

The choir of angels (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraphs 325-336) reflects the beauty and order of heaven. As you prayerfully consider your level of support, know that any gift is greatly appreciated, and you may choose your own amount.

Angel sponsorship levels range from $10 to $5000 and can provide a meaningful way to honor or pray for someone special. We are still hoping for a Seraphim-level gift, a blessing we hoped for last year but did not receive.

Are you able to make an impact at that level?
