In Matthew 6:21, it is written “for where your treasure is, your heart will be also.” As patrons of Catholic education and loyal friends to Trinity, your heart is certainly felt here every day and has been a driving force behind so many good works in fulfillment of our mission to educate the whole student—mind, body, and soul. I am writing to you today with great excitement for the future of Catholic education in Dickinson.
In recent years, Trinity Catholic Schools has experienced significant growth, largely due to our early childhood programs and elementary enrollment. In order to accommodate the growing need--and demand--for early childhood education that is rooted in Catholic teaching, we are building an early childhood center on our Steffes Campus, situated across from the Church of Queen of Peace. This vibrant new center includes room for future elementary growth, with plans to incorporate space for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, usage will extend well beyond our Titan students and benefit Catholic families who participate in faith formation in each of our local parishes.
In coming weeks, you will begin to see the building truly take shape to the northeast of the junior high and high school. Understanding the critical need for this facility space and the aggressive construction schedule necessary, Bishop Kagan approved the start of the project using funds from a generous bequest made by +Joseph J. Wagner while we endeavor to raise the remaining funds needed for the $7.6M structure. Sensitive to this fundraising timeline, Bishop Kagan also generously offered a $750,000 match for all gifts, which we are proud to say we achieved and received our grant check from Bishop Kagan on June 3rd. Upon learning of this unprecedented commitment, an anonymous donor provided an additional $1,000,000 match, that we are still hoping to earn with your help!
Dear friends, this is a remarkable opportunity for us to be a part of a once in a lifetime project that will make a generational impact for not just Catholic school families, but also for our Dickinson home.
