Our community is excited to participate alongside all parishes, missions and Catholic centers in the Archdiocese to strengthen and renew our Church for the future. Please continue reading to learn how this campaign will benefit us.
We need a new large and attractive Parish Hall for our expanding ministries.
St. Bruno has many outstanding events on our grounds. We have a large elementary school with over 320 students, an even larger Religious Education program with over 500 students, our amazing annual SpringFest in May, as well as our many bible studies and prayer groups.
What we do not have is a large Hall that can accommodate large parent meetings and adult education speakers, sports facilities for our students, musical concerts, special banquets, and especially family receptions after funerals and baptisms.
How meaningful it will be if we can invite families after a funeral or baptism to a reception in our nearby new Parish Hall. How wonderful that our students can play basketball and volleyball on a professional court. How amazing to host musical concerts, movies, or inspiring speakers in our new parish facility. It will truly be a HALL for ALL!
Our present very small hall is located next to our school making it unusable during school hours which are from 8am to 6pm. In addition, it is located far from the church. It simply cannot provide any of the very important uses that we need.
I would like to propose building a new Parish Hall that will meet all of those important spiritual and educational needs. Our new HALL for ALL will greatly increase our ministry to all our people at St. Bruno, and be conveniently located nearer to the Church.
We have designed a building that is attractive and accomplishes all the purposes that our parish needs and at a cost that we can afford.
Please take a moment to review the pictures and plans for our new HALL for All on the following pages. There are additional photos on our website for you to view. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts.

Parish Needs
Introducing a Hall for All
To help inspire fellowship, a modern multi-use parish and school hall will significantly increase our parish’s capacity to gather as a community of faith. The new hall will have an expanded commercial kitchen for parish and school events, provide space to host receptions following funerals and baptisms, and invite parishioners to congregate after Masses with easy access from the Church and parking lot.
Indoor Basketball and Volleyball courts for our students, as well as, for adults after hours.
Stage for musical presentations, recitals, concerts, and plays.
Large screen for movie nights, streaming, and presentations.
A Bold Plan of Renewal
We — the Catholic faithful — are the agents of renewal for Church and society. I am grateful for this opportunity to walk alongside clergy and parishioners in strengthening our parishes and ministries, the heart of our Archdiocese.
