St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana, has experienced strong growth since its establishment three decades ago. The parish had planned to enhance and repair its worship space. But families with young children and changing demographics led to school expansion instead. With that work accomplished, the parish turned its attention to the church’s future. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton hired the Steier Group to customize a capital campaign to address parish debt. The debt had accumulated due to the congregation establishing a new parish in a booming area and the faith community’s phenomenal growth. Other campaign goals included repairing the church roof, sidewalks and gutters, and addressing an aging HVAC system. The successful One Family Rooted in Christ Capital Campaign raised more than $2.7 million in gifts and pledges, positioning the parish for a strong future.
