West Seattle’s Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic parish has announced a community event for the end of this month as it revs up a fundraising campaign for a $4 million project. The rendering above shows what they’re hoping to build. Here’s the full text of the announcement sent by a PR rep for the church:

Our Lady of Guadalupe, an 800-family Catholic parish in West Seattle, will kick off Building for Our Future: The Next 50 Years Campaign with a community celebration at Noon on Sunday, August 29.

The event, which will take place on the parish campus at 7000 35th Avenue SW, will feature food, music and games for kids to mark the official start of an initiative to build a new Parish Gathering Hall/Gymnasium to serve Our Lady of Guadalupe’s church and school. The 10,000-square foot Parish Life Center/Gymnasium will include beautiful spaces for large events, a full kitchen, outdoor play areas, and a bright and modern gymnasium.

“More than a meeting hall, more than a gym, the building will benefit every person in our parish while also allowing us to better serve the greater good of our entire community,” said Father Jack Walmesley, pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

To learn more about the campaign, read our fact sheet or visit the website at www.olgfuture.org.

According to this breakdown on that website, OLG hopes to raise at least half of the $4 million through donations from individuals and businesses. (They’re accepting donations online, too.)
