Support The McDonald Family Center Renovation

The McDonald Family Center was an initial component of the 2015 Building the Future Campaign which constructed our new Athletic Center and roadway entrance from Vance Jackson. Due to budget constraints, The McDonald Family Center renovation was eliminated from the campaign.

Thanks to our parishioners’ support of the Archdiocesan “On The Way, Andale Campaign” our 35% return from the campaign enabled us to secure the required funds to renovate the gymnasium. The project will be completed in phases as additional funds are raised.

• Phase I:  The McDonald Family Center gymnasium will be redesigned into an elegant contemporary venue with a lobby that complements the interior space. The bathrooms will be upgraded and be ADA compliant. 

• Phase II: The six classrooms will be modified with features that are essential to any modern-day meeting room. Each classroom will have WIFI access, projection screens and enhanced audio-visual capabilities. To increase privacy and security, doors will be installed in the hallways leading to the lobby.

We are asking for your support to complete Phase I and Phase II. With the newly refurbished McDonald Family Center:

• We will be able to accommodate our active parish ministries;
• Parishioners and the community-at-large will be able to rent the venue; and
• The revenue stream created by the rentals will increase our ability to serve the St. Matthew Parish Community.  

Construction will begin after Easter and be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2023.
