Our Future in New Berlin

In central New Berlin, a southwestern suburb of Milwaukee, rests a 40-acre parcel of land destined to be the site of our new Church and Cultural Center.

In the spring of 2002, a Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) application was submitted to the City of New Berlin to begin our process for a new church.  However, this application failed to pass approval initially.  We struggled in litigation to push on with a successful solution in fall of 2006.

In September 2006, Father Anthony Scott presented his report at a town hall meeting at the parish on a Capital Campaign Planning Study.  Father Anthony was subsequently retained to assist with the fund raising for Phase I.  We are presently engaged in the organization/quiet phase of the Capital Campaign.  Monthly newsletters will be sent to the community informing parishioners of our progress.  Our Capital Campaign Co-Chairpersons are Mimika Kambouris and Alex Marlis.

Above are the conceptual drawings for the new Church and Cultural Center.
