✨ Avila Rising: We Are Building for the Future ✨
Because of your generosity, the church door restoration project is nearly complete and the school cafeteria project is fully funded—visible signs of what is possible when a parish family comes together in faith.
Now, we turn our eyes toward the heart of the Avila Rising Campaign: the transformation of Avila Hall.
For generations, Avila Hall has been a place of gathering, celebration, faith formation, and friendship. Today, it is essential to the life of our parish—especially our growing youth ministry. With your support, we are creating a renewed space for youth gatherings, Bible studies, parish events, family life, meetings, and ministry for generations to come.
This is about more than a building.
It is about creating a home for faith to grow.
A place where young people encounter Christ.
A space where our parish family gathers in joy, support, and community.
We are building upon a strong foundation—and rising to meet the future with faith and purpose.
🙏 Will you help us continue the mission?

Administrative Assistants do far more than what meets the eye - so much more than opening doors, answering phones, and entering dailly data - especially when they are ones who are happy to work in a Catholic School and share the faith, who are thoughtful, professional, devoted, and creative. Mrs. Lisa Hingsbergen exemplifies all of these and so much more. 🐻
This week, after 21 years of dedicated service, hard work, and genuine care for our school, families, and staff - she will be closing this chapter and opening a brand new one into a well-deserved retirement! Lisa Conte Hingsbergen
Parishoners, Bruin family members, and Bruin Alums - you are invited to attend the school mass on Wednesday, the 20th at 1pm.
Our Bruin community as a whole will greatly miss her; but we thank Mrs. Hingsbergen for all she is and all that she has done for us. We congratulate and celebrate her this week!
