Learn About the One Plan

I grew up in the parish and 18 years ago I moved back with my husband Tim to raise our family here. When Tim and I were house searching, we knew we wanted a vibrant, welcoming parish with a strong school for our growing family. We found it at St. Francis and now Saints JFX. We are grateful for the faith-based education that our three sons received at the parish school. But our love for this parish extends beyond the school. We are investing in the One Plan because we love this community and we plan to be parishioners for many years to come. I am most excited for the two parish centers that will be built, providing much-needed, accessible meeting space for our many active ministries. Saints JFX is a special place!

Megan Glunz Horton, Parent and Parishioner
Our family is deeply grateful for being part of this great parish for over 40 years! We have known and loved Saints JFX as parishioners, educators, students and alumni. Across decades and generations, the constant that remains throughout both St. Joseph and St. Francis Xavier campuses is that Saints JFX is a family rooted in faith and love that finds its power in the great gift of Catholic community.

What is the One Plan?

We are excited to embark on the One Plan, a transformative initiative to ensure Saints JFX remains a vibrant parish and a leader in Catholic education for generations to come. The One Plan will address capital needs across both campuses, and we invite every family to participate and make a meaningful contribution. Join us in this journey and be a part of our thriving community!
