St. Luke Capital Campaign
Goal: $4.4 million
Pledged: $3,827,744
In the spring of 2025...
We launched our long-planned capital campaign to address our new Hall, administration wing, and basement renovations of our church.
Floor Plans
Keeping You Informed as We Progress!
The project may be completed in two phases, depending on funding.
- Phase I: Parish hall, new office space, updated kitchen and restrooms, an elevator, and renovated basement classrooms. Estimated cost: $4.4 million.
- Phase II: Sacristy additions, construction of the new adoration chapel, and further upgrades such as pew restoration, painting, and new flooring.
Parishioners emphasized preserving the church’s historic beauty. The final design honors the original hand-cut stone structure and stained-glass windows while enhancing functionality.

Prayer for Campaign
As we stand together at this moment in the life of our parish, open our hearts, Lord, to all that You desire for Your Church here in Nicholasville. Fill us with courage to take bold steps, with faith to trust in Your providence, and with generosity that flows from grateful hearts, so that we may joyfully respond, trusting always in Your perfect plan. May this capital campaign be not about buildings alone, but about building a future, a future of faith, a future of hope, a future of love lived fully in communion with you. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. (Posted 03-22-26)
