Capital Campaign > Our Priorities

Our Priorities Recognizing that the poor physical condition of our buildings hinders our ability to strengthen and expand our service to the city, St. Bartholomew’s Church has initiated a $30 million capital campaign. The funds we raise will provide the resources needed to address the most urgent structural, mechanical and spatial needs of our buildings. Preserving St. Bartholomew’s dome and protecting it from irreparable damage; repairing related internal drainspouts to prevent further leakage in the church.  Restoring the terrace and creating a new Community House entrance on the terrace level that will better connect the visitor to the secular and sacred spaces of St. Bartholomew’s Enhancing the sacred space for public and liturgical use by addressing inadequate lighting and sound systems and improving the seating Upgrading antiquated mechanical and electrical systems that have compromised our ability to operate in our buildings Establishing an endowment to provide the resources for future maintenance of our buildings
