3D Rendition of Our New Saint Sharbel Church Building
THIS IS TRULY AN EXCITING AND JOYFUL TIME in the life of Saint Sharbel Church. We are blessed to be a part of an active community of 470 families and growing.
In response to the many urgent needs and opportunities in our parish, we are building a new, modernized and centralized church. We will be launching a capital campaign in December 2019 to achieve this goal.
Our campaign slogan is “Growing Together, Building in Faith,” reminding us of our history as a parish and how we have arrived at this pivotal moment.
Our mission remains to encounter Christ and be disciples using our God-given gifts of time, talent and treasure for the benefit of our church and community. A well-cared for and new facility is a critical part of that mission.
How We Get There
THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF OUR PARISH, the parishioners of St. Sharbel have built our church into a strong community of faith and stewardship. We are confident that this project will be met with a high degree of commitment and participation.
The entire project is estimated to cost $2.8 million. The church will contribute $1 million of its funds and raise the remaining $1.8 million with your help. Construction of the building is anticipated to start in the summer of 2021.
We are counting on every member of our parish community to make a prayerful decision about how they will support this effort. Whether you participate by donating, giving online or attending a campaign event, it is your act of involvement that will make this campaign a success.
It is our time to reach even greater heights through “Growing Together, Building in Faith."
IN 2019, PLANS FOR THE NEW CHURCH WERE FINALIZED. The results are exciting! The plans provide for a brand new facility to be proud of! The new church and building will offer convenience in a centralized and safe environment for all parishioners who are active in parish life. It’s a plan to meet the needs of our community and build for generations to come.
