The Revised Goal:
$4,000,000
Total Pledges as ofApril 30, 2021
$3,546,634
THE GOAL OF THE CAMPAIGN IS THREEFOLD:
WHERE ARE WE NOW? As of April 30, 2021, we have collected $ 3,192,685 in pledges and $14,425 in direct payments to St. Max for the TWG campaign. That is a total of $3,207,110.
WHERE IS THIS MONEY NOW? $ 1,395,105 was used to fulfill our obligation to the archdiocesan campaign. $ 468,254 paid off our parish debt. $ 1,178,312 resides in our campaign accounts (includes $18,472 interest). $ 4,000 was paid to obtain boring samples. $ 82,030 went to design and architectural fees. $ 183,911 is due to be received from the Catholic Community Foundation.
WHERE ARE WE GOING FROM HERE?
While our hope is to be able to generate enough additional pledges to fully fund this project, we also recognize the challenge of doing so. If we aim for completing just the new entrance and the shell of the expansion, the estimated cost would be around $1,917,000. That shortfall would only be $33,326 in additional pledges needed.
Regardless, we recognize with gratitude that a dedicated group of very generous parishioners continues to make their pledges and support the campaign. We also recognize the need for increased support from everyone in the parish. Please keep in mind that in order to break ground, we must have in hand 50% of the budget and the remaining 50% in pledges to complete the expansion.
TOGETHER WE GROW MATCH SUCCESSFUL!
Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our parishioners we have met the $218,200 matching grant. This brings us much closer to meeting our goal of breaking ground in the Fall. But we still need your help. Please consider making a pledge or one-time donation. Thank you for your support!

Please keep in mind that all monies donated to Together We Grow will go directly to St. Max. There will not be any assessment charged to St. Max by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati on these donated funds.
PROJECT UPDATES: The schematic design phase of the project is completed. We are currently in the design development phase of the project. The TWG Steering Committee has been meeting regularly with architects from Ruetschle Architects, Inc., as we work out the details and features of the expansion.
PSI Intertek obtained soil boring samples on September 25, 2019. These samples will be used to inform the type of foundation for the building expansion.
As of September 18, 2019, in response to our request for a reduction in our obligation to the Archdiocese of Cincinnati’s One Faith, One Hope, One Love campaign, the archdiocese waived the remaining $320,895 that was owed. St. Maximilian Kolbe parish has consequently fulfilled its obligation to the archdiocese!
Together We Grow, combined with the archdiocesan One Faith, One Hope, One Love campaign, addresses our current and future needs while simultaneously supporting our archdiocese. We look towards our future with hope as our St. Max family continues to grow.
Any money raised beyond our $3,500,000 goal will be set aside for potential future expansions of the kitchen and meeting rooms in the Family Life Complex.
The addition of a day chapel was determined not to be a significant want or need. A large multi-purpose room will go in the space allocated for the chapel.
