Capital Campaign: A Future Filled with Hope

A FUTURE FILLED WITH HOPE

In 2023, the Meadowbrook Church of Christ's entire campus was offered for sale.

The parish and school of Saint Richard discerned that the area would be ideal for the placement of our Catholic school.

In 2023, a $2.5 M loan was granted by the Diocese in order to purchase the site and create a vibrant campus for learning and faith formation. Improvements and repairs of the buildings are currently underway.

It is our HOPE that we can pay off the loan and begin to establish this new chapter in the storied history of the Saint Richard school and parish.

"I have plans to give you a future filled with hope." Jeremiah 29:11

Testimonials

“We are very excited about the future of our school and move to our new campus. There are so many things to be excited about at the new campus and we know that they will serve not only our children well, but also all of the current and future students of St. Richard well and provide for a 1st class educational experience.

The Chapel will be a wonderful space for our children to celebrate Mass and all of their school programs held throughout the year. We are also excited about the classroom spaces and the state-of-the-art technology that will be provided to enhance the educational experience at St. Richard. The new location will also give St. Richard Catholic School a much more prominent presence and be a beacon of hope for the future development in our surrounding community.” - Robert and Gina Metzger, Parents

Red Cardinal

Gifts of $1,000 or more will be honored with a red, handmade, hand-painted, one-of-a-kind ceramic cardinal with your name or message which will be hung in the Eve Walsh Academic building on the “Cardinal Wall”.
