Foundations for the Future

Dear Friends,

With great enthusiasm we announce the launch of Foundations for the Future, a Capital Campaign to advance the mission of Holy Name of Jesus Parish and School. We have been blessed with the opportunity to build upon the strong foundation that was laid for us over 130 years ago. As we look to the future, we want to ensure that Holy Name of Jesus is a place where many generations will come to worship with their families and to learn and grow in their Catholic faith.

Funds raised through our Foundations for the Future campaign will provide innovations that will benefit both our parish and our school. A year-long financial feasibility study conducted by the Institute for School and Parish Development provided guidance in prioritizing the most-needed projects that would have the greatest impact on our community.

We are seeking to raise $7 million—$1 million for renovations to the church and $6 million for an addition to the school. We have worked with professional architects to design plans for the addition of a bridal suite, interior bathrooms, and a new accessible entrance for Holy Name of Jesus Church, along with a new classroom building to accommodate the recent expansion of Holy Name of Jesus School with our Little Gators program.

We ask for your prayerful consideration of our campaign. Our goal is to personally invite every member of the Holy Name of Jesus Parish and School community to participate through the gift of prayer, the gift of service, and the gift of financial support. Your participation in our campaign will allow Holy Name of Jesus to continue to share the blessings that we have enjoyed for many years. May God bless you and your family.

Yours in Christ,
Rev. Mark E. Thibodeaux, S.J., Pastor
