Campaign Chronicles – September 2026

As our campus comes alive for a new school year, exciting progress has been happening at the St. Carlo Acutis Chapel.

Since our last update, the chapel roof has been completed, the windows have been installed, and the chapel is now fully enclosed and connected to our current school building. The new main entrance is also taking shape, creating a welcoming arrival for students, families, and visitors.

The new entrance leads into our future main office and flex space before continuing toward the doors of the St. Carlo Acutis Chapel. While work inside the main office is still underway, this new connection between the school and chapel is beginning to give us a sense of how these spaces will come together as one connected part of our campus.

Inside the chapel, significant work has also been completed. The electrical and audio systems are in place, and work on the HVAC system is moving toward completion. Construction has also begun in the area where the Stations of the Cross will be installed, bringing another meaningful element of the chapel’s design into focus.

With the building now fully enclosed and natural light streaming through the stained glass and newly installed windows, we are getting a real sense of the chapel’s beauty. It is becoming the place of prayer and worship we have always envisioned—a space where our school community will gather, reflect, and grow in faith. As a school committed to forming students in faith, intellect, virtue, and service, this chapel will provide a lasting space to nurture that formation and deepen our relationship with God.

Looking ahead, work will soon turn to the landscaping surrounding the new entrance and chapel. From there, attention will shift increasingly to the interior as the team works to complete the remaining details and prepare the space for its future use.

We are deeply grateful for the prayers, generosity, and support that have made the Building on Faith Capital Campaign possible. This project is more than the construction of a beautiful new space; it is an investment in the spiritual life and formation of generations of Saints.
