Building Projects

Building Projects

"Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain." (Psalm 127:1)

These are proposed or current major building projects for St. Brendan Parish. While our material resources do not define our parish, they do serve our spiritual mission and the overall good of our parishioners and community. By prudent planning and stewardship of the gifts God has entrusted our parish through its parishioners, we can keep our parish in good physical shape for years to come.

In addition to active projects, the Buildings and Grounds committee of the St. Brendan Finance Council is actively studying our campus and developing a multi-stage plan for maintenance and improvements.
