On May 28, members of the Building committee (Dave Worley, Bob Hathaway, Jim Eichner, Glenn and Vivian Johnson, Janet Brandt) meet with Jim and Joe Gaffney of Gaffney Construction and Architect Ed Buffalow to talk about design and construction ideas.

The Building committee is co-chaired by Jerry Whalen (exteriors) and Janet Brandt (interiors). 

Ground Breaking for Site Work in spring 2010

We are very excited as we work towards our permit with the City of Redmond to begin a million dollars worth of site work for our project.  It's not too sexy, mostly parking lots with some landscaping on the surface, but the site work includes a massive underground storm water retention vault, water, sewer, electric, and irrigation infrastructure that is good for our whole complete build (phases 1 and 2). 

Background Information

    Over the past four years, we (the members of Holy Cross) have been engaged in a very thorough process to discern God’s vision for our congregation. Facilities and Needs Assessments, a Feasibility Study, and significant input from parish members have made it clear that we will better serve our mission and ministry at Holy Cross by expanding and enhancing our facilities.

     In fall of 2007 we completed a capital stewardship campaign, entitled Raising the Roof, to pay for our building project. As we announced on Celebration Sunday (16-Dec-2007), we have exceeded our highest goal (the “Celebration Goal”) of $1.5 million by raising pledges of $1.7 million!  This amount will give us some flexibility in building and long term planning for our facilities.  Thank you for your participation in this exciting time in the life of Holy Cross!
