Capital Campaign Update
Summer 2026 CCS Newsletter
The Deeply Rooted, Growing Stronger capital campaign continues to move forward with strong support from across the Catholic Community Schools community. The campaign has reached $4,477,011.08 toward its $6 million goal, with $1,769,726.73 already received. This progress reflects the generosity of 440 families, alumni, parishioners, and friends who are helping strengthen Catholic education for students today and for generations to come.
The campaign is already making a meaningful difference. Gifts received are helping relieve pressure on Cathedral’s annual operating budget by covering North Building loan payments outside of regular school operations, while also supporting important facility needs and investing in professional development at our elementary schools. Each commitment is a sign of confidence in the mission of Catholic Community Schools and the work we are doing together.
This summer brings an important opportunity to increase that impact. The Cross Works Foundation has committed $1 million in matching funds over five years, matching new gifts dollar for dollar up to $200,000 each year. To complete the first year of this match, $40,887.92 remains to be raised by August 1, 2026.
No matter the size, every new gift goes twice as far, helping unlock matching funds and move the campaign closer to its goal.
Thank you to all who have already given, prayed, and shared this campaign and its importance with friends, family, colleagues, and community members. Keep up the great work! Together, we are strengthening Catholic education for students and families throughout our community.
