Assumption Catholic Church opened the Parish Family Center in June 2008 after a year of construction. The Center consists of a gymnasium with a seating capacity of five hundred, offices for physical education, restrooms, lockers, concessions, and five meeting rooms.
The center is part of the parish’s Heritage and Horizons master plan to grow and improve the school and parish campus as it seeks to serve an expanding population on the Southside.
New condo construction near the parish and an influx of younger families has caused the parish to plan for the future needs of the community. The eighteen thousand square foot facility and related improvements will cost ($3,500,000.00) three million, five hundred thousand dollars. The general contractor was Danis Construction and the architects were Reynolds, Smith and Hills. An official groundbreaking ceremony was held June 2007 and the Family Center opened the following June.
“The Family Center is another step in the growth of our parish and school and will allow us to have more places to meet, study, pray, and play together,” said Father Fred Parke, pastor. “Our school facility is unique in that it is a generation of learning at one site: you can start at age three at our pre-school and stay here in one place until you are eighteen and a graduate of Bishop Kenny High School!”
A formal dedication ceremony took place October 5, 2008 as part of the 95th anniversary celebration of the parish.
