Latest Update (10/28/2018):
Thanks for your prayers for our discernment of a potential capital campaign. We are evaluating the results of the recent feasibility study in light of current events. We are also continuing to examine our ability to translate everyone’s enthusiasm into a successful effort for the future of our parish and school. We will make a decision within the next two months—keep praying! - Fr. Joseph
Read more details of the project in Our Vision for the Future.
"Over a decade ago, our parish engaged in some future planning exercises. Due to the Great Recession, these plans were put on hold. Now we are revisiting our facility needs and exploring the potential for enhancements. It is clear that our current facilities do not provide adequate space for parish or school activities.
An expansion could allow space for: more parish meeting rooms, a parish library, extra classrooms for Holy Family Academy, and a large multi-purpose space which would function as gym, auditorium, theater, and event space for parish festival, Spring dinner, etc.
Our parish has hired the local firm of Mark Davy and Associates to conduct a feasibility study regarding this project. We ask for your prayers and cooperation as they contact parishioners in the coming weeks. The only way we can accurately discern our potential to go forward is with everyone’s full and honest cooperation in this study.
God bless!

Prayer for Guidance from the Holy Spirit:
Come Holy Spirit!
Enlighten our minds and hearts as we seek Your wisdom
to guide our efforts for the future of our parish.
Make us grateful for the sacrifices of those who came before us
and whose legacy of faith we have inherited.
Inspire us with ways to strengthen our future
as a witness of the Gospel in the Twin Cities
and Your instrument for the formation
of the next generation of Christians.
May the Holy Family of Nazareth be our model
and may we always live united in charity
with Jesus at the center of our lives.
Amen.
