Master Plan

Summer Progress:

In June and July, we have been working with our partners, the Steier Group and Browning Day to set timelines for our work ahead. The Steier Group are working with SLDM leaders to manage our upcoming capital campaign. With decades of experience and a national reputation for guiding successful Catholic parish campaigns, Steier Group will lead us throughout this important effort. Our architect, Browning Day, is a respected architecture and planning firm who has conducted projects within our diocese before. They are working with SLDM leadership to refine the scope and details of our Phase 1 projects. the Church, Adoration Chapel and associated Sitework.

What's Ahead:

In August, Fr. Haan and SLDM leadership will begin touring churches with the architect to articulate key design ideas and inspiration and begin the process of creating detailed designs and renderings. We will be investigating options for moving our organ and continue to assess the overall site work. Our team will finalize a campaign planning calendar that spans from now through April. We are not asking for gifts at this time and will formally launch the campaign to the entire SLDM community January 10-11. We will also be recruiting and onboarding key campaign leaders such as our campaign general chairs and our campaign event chair.

Please continue to pray for our leadership and the master plan.
