The new 33,000 square foot Pastoral Center will be built on property currently owned by the Diocese, thus saving the cost of purchasing new land. The New Pastoral Center will be built on Northeast 24th, across from the Armed Forces Reserve Center. The spacious, yet simple building will feature:
-An expanded Archive Museum to showcase the historical artifacts of the Diocese;
-Two fire proof vaults to protect historical sacramental records;
-A dividable meeting hall with classroom style seating for up to 150 people and a
catering kitchen;
-A beautiful chapel with sufficient seating to allow all employees to participate in Mass
and prayer services;
-Adequate parking for employees and guests;
-A dedicated employee break room and two conference rooms;
-Handicap accessible restrooms;
-A courtyard to host events and small receptions.
The New Pastoral Center will provide safe, adequate housing for the ministries and programs of the Diocese for many years to come.
