CAPITAL CAMPAIGN 2026
Living Our Legacy: Renewing Our Worship, Strengthening Our Mission
Living Our Legacy: Renewing Our Worship, Strengthening Our Mission
This campaign is intentionally connected to our 2017 campaign, Preserve Our Past, Form Our Future, Leave Your Legacy. What we began together nearly a decade ago laid a strong foundation. Because of your generosity then, Saint Boniface is vibrant and alive today. The Campaign builds upon that foundation—honoring our past while responding faithfully to the needs of the present and the promise of the future.
Renewing Our Worship
At the heart of Saint Boniface is our worship of God. Our Campaign will invest in projects that enhance the beauty, reverence, and functionality of our sacred spaces—ensuring that our church continues to be a place where hearts are lifted, faith is nourished, and generations encounter Christ in Word and Sacrament.
Strengthening Our Mission
Saint Boniface is more than a building—it is a mission. A mission that includes vibrant liturgy, strong faith formation, outreach to those in need, and a parish school that forms young disciples. This campaign will support the long-term vitality of our parish and school so that Saint Boniface remains a place of welcome, hope, and formation for years to come.
Living Our Legacy
A legacy is not simply what we inherit—it is what we choose to pass on. Those who came before us made sacrifices so that Saint Boniface could thrive. Today, we are called to do the same for those who will follow us.

Parish Campus Assessment Summary
An extensive assessment has been conducted regarding the needs and desires of the Saint Boniface Parish campus, encompassing the Church, Chapel, Oak Room and lower level, 1912 school building, and the parish cemetery. This review included input and observations from parish staff, parishioners, school faculty and administration, and our maintenance team. After careful discussion and evaluation, the following conclusions and recommendations have been identified to ensure that each area of our campus continues to serve the spiritual, educational, and pastoral needs of the parish community effectively and sustainably.
Church
The church, now 27 years old, is beginning to show natural signs of age and wear. One of the primary concerns has been the ceiling, which previously showed discoloration and damage due to roof leaks. After a period of trial and error, the roof repairs have been successfully completed, and the structure is now free of any potential water intrusion.
However, the ceiling continues to display lingering dark dust marks from past issues and general aging. To restore the interior’s brightness and enhance the overall worship environment, the next phase of improvement will include cleaning and repainting the ceiling. The plan calls for a lighter color palette, which will both refresh the space aesthetically and add more natural light and warmth to the church’s interior, creating a more uplifting and prayerful atmosphere for parishioners.
Pipe Organ
The current electronic organ—though visually enhanced by decorative façade pipes—is not a true pipe organ. After nearly three decades of service, the instrument has reached the end of its useful life. Replacement parts and repair options have become increasingly scarce, and the sound quality has diminished over time.
To preserve and enhance the musical and liturgical excellence of Saint Boniface Church, plans are underway to replace the electronic organ with a fully refurbished 1954 pipe organ acquired through the Wick Company of Highland, Illinois. This instrument, originally built in 1954 and formerly housed in a Temple in Creve Coeur, Missouri, will be completely overhauled and restored to create a showpiece of beauty and craftsmanship for our church.
When properly maintained, a pipe organ can serve for generations, offering not only superior sound and musical range but also a profound and lasting contribution to the sacred liturgy. The installation of this organ will be a significant and enduring enhancement to the worship life and artistic heritage of Saint Boniface Parish.
Lower-Level Kitchen
Plans are in place to renovate and expand the kitchen located in the lower level of the Church to make it more functional and user-friendly for parish events, particularly funeral luncheons, receptions, parish dinners, and social gatherings.
The expanded and improved kitchen will include a professional-grade cooler, ice maker, new stainless-steel sinks, and a commercial range suitable for larger meal preparation. Additionally, a dedicated pantry and increased counter and working space will enhance efficiency and organization for volunteer teams and parish groups.
This renovation will ensure that the lower level remains a welcoming and practical space for fellowship and hospitality—continuing Saint Boniface’s strong tradition of gathering around the table in faith and community.
Additional Meeting Spaces-Level Kitchen
Meeting space continues to be at a premium at the parish. To help address this need, a large room with a flexible, movable wall will be constructed on the south end of the Oak Room. This design will allow the space to be divided into one or two more private meetings or gathering areas as needed. The new rooms will be furnished appropriately for meetings and equipped with TV screens for video presentations, providing a functional and flexible space to support parish ministries and activities.
Parish Cemetery
A new storage building will be constructed at the parish cemetery to provide secure and organized space for equipment and materials used in the maintenance and care of the grounds, as well as for funeral and burial preparations.
This secure facility will house essential items such as tools, landscaping supplies, and burial-related equipment. In addition, it will serve as off-campus storage for parish items that are used only occasionally—such as tents, tables, chairs, and seasonal items, thereby helping to reduce congestion in other parish storage areas.
The addition of this building will improve the efficiency, accessibility, and stewardship of parish resources while supporting the continued care and dignity of the Saint Boniface Parish Cemetery. Also, due to the cemetery’s remote location from the parish campus, 24-hour camera surveillance will be installed to help enhance safety and security.
1912 School Building Restrooms
Renovation plans are in place for the restrooms in the 1912 school building, scheduled to take place next summer. Both the boys’ and girls’ bathrooms will be completely updated to meet modern standards of functionality, cleanliness, and accessibility.
The improvements will include new fixtures, flooring, lighting, and partitions, along with upgraded plumbing to ensure long-term reliability. These renovations will not only enhance comfort and appearance but also reflect the parish’s ongoing commitment to providing a safe, welcoming, and well-maintained environment for our students, faculty, and visitors.
1912 School Building
Significant improvements are planned for the 1912 school building, which continues to serve as an important part of the Saint Boniface Parish campus.
The classrooms and hallways of the 1912 building will be repainted and fitted with new flooring throughout. It has been nearly 20 years since the last major update to these areas, and this renovation will greatly enhance both the appearance and comfort of the learning environment.
Together, these improvements will preserve the historic charm of the 1912 building while ensuring it remains a safe, attractive, and functional space for generations of students and parishioners to come.
Strengthening Our Parish Mission Through Pastoral Staffing
As Saint Boniface Parish continues to grow, so too does our responsibility to care for the spiritual needs of our community. One of the most important ways we can strengthen our mission is by ensuring that we have the pastoral leadership and staff necessary to serve our parishioners well.
Through this initiative, we are seeking to provide four years of funding for key pastoral positions that will expand ministry, strengthen faith formation, and increase outreach to those in need.

Youth, Young Adult, and Family Minister (Full-Time)
$35,000 annually | $140,000 over four years
This minister will coordinate faith formation and engagement for middle school and high school youth, young adults, and families. Responsibilities include serving as PSR Coordinator, developing youth and young adult ministry, and organizing family-centered faith events that strengthen Catholic life in the home.
Stewardship and Volunteer Coordinator (Part-Time)
$18,000 annually | $72,000 over four years
This position will focus on building a strong culture of stewardship within the parish and coordinating volunteers for parish ministries and events. By helping parishioners share their time, talent, and treasure, this role will strengthen participation across the parish community.
Pastoral Associate (Full-Time)
$40,000 annually | $160,000 over four years
This position will expand pastoral care throughout the parish, including ministry to the homebound, nursing homes, and hospitals. The Pastoral Associate will also assist with funeral planning, adult faith formation, OCIA coordination, marriage preparation, and Tribunal services, helping parishioners through important moments of faith and life.
Investing in the Future of Our Parish
By funding these positions for the next four years, Saint Boniface Parish will be better equipped to serve families, support the sick and elderly, form young disciples, and welcome new members into the Church.
This investment is ultimately an investment in people, faith, and the future of our parish community.
