OUR MISSION
Founded in Faith, Building for Tomorrow is a $1.5 million project to restore and renew St. Joseph Parish School—remodeling original 1959 exterior facade, modernizing our HVAC system, updating lighting and removing asbestos—ensuring a safe, sustainable, and mission-driven learning environment for the next generation of disciples.
The goal of this project is to raise $1.5 million over the next year to fund critical infrastructure improvements to the original 1959 structure of St. Joseph Parish School in Prescott, Wisconsin. Funds will be used to:
Exterior facade remodel, replacing current curtain walls with modern, insulated materials that meet today’s safety, energy, and building codes, thus improving energy efficiency and classroom comfort
Upgrade the HVAC system for better air quality and temperature control
Asbestos remediation to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all students, staff, and visitors
Complete lighting updates in the original 1959 portion of the building: install new LED ballasts and fixtures to improve energy efficiency
Redesign and update the school entrance to strengthen campus security and better control access to the building.
These essential upgrades will enhance safety, sustainability, and the overall learning environment—ensuring that St. Joseph Parish School continues to serve families with excellence for generations to come.
St. Joseph Parish School is more than a building — it is a vital part of our mission to form disciples of Jesus Christ. Every day, students walk through our doors to grow in faith, knowledge, and virtue. As one of the few thriving Catholic schools in our region, we are a beacon of hope for families seeking strong academics rooted in Gospel values.
While we are thriving as a community, we recognize the importance of acting now to ensure that our facilities match the strength of our mission. We are not responding out of crisis but out of stewardship — taking proactive steps today to secure a stronger tomorrow for our students.
But our physical building is at a critical turning point. The original windows are no longer efficient or secure. Our outdated HVAC system struggles to maintain safe air quality and temperature. Asbestos remains in parts of the building, posing long-term risks that we cannot ignore.
We are not facing a temporary issue — we are facing a turning point. If we don't act now, these compounding facility issues could impact enrollment negatively, increase operational costs, and potentially threaten the very future of our school.
This project is our chance to protect what is sacred: our children, our mission, and our ability to raise up the next generation of disciples. With your support, we can preserve St. Joseph Parish School not just for today’s students — but for decades to come.
