New Foyer + Entrance

The doors of Our Lady of the Lake are open to all — but difficult to find

 

We want to give our church an inviting entrance where all feel welcome and where we have space to greet one another before and after Mass. We will:

 

• Build a new entrance facing the parking lot and the parish center that is well-lit and welcoming.

• This will include an added foyer to handle the flow of people up to the church and into the hall.

• Add a wider stairwell and central elevator so that all who arrive can enter the narthex together.

• The new stairs will be visible from our parking area, thus encouraging people to come in and move up to our worship space.

• Create an environmentally friendly green roof with skylights over the new vestibule.

The Campaign Goal is $10M

 

 

Funds raised from this campaign will go directly to support all development costs and contingency funds.

 

 

As of November 15th, we are at $6,324,080 from 82 generous households. This is 63% of our goal!

 

A Message from Fr. John

"This parish and the church and where we are, is just a treasure and we are so fortunate to have it. But we have a responsibility for it to continue to serve in the future.

 

If people are not from here, they come in from the parking lot level and they don't know how to get into the church. It's not obvious. This new design, connects the upstairs and the downstairs with a grand staircase and lots of light and will just pull people into the sanctuary. And then, after Mass, as people come downstairs, they'll walk through an area where people are gathering and that fosters community in ways that just happens naturally."
