Capital Campaigns

Since 1994, St. Bernard has successfully completed two campaigns for capital improvements on the campus.  From 1994 – 1997, the St. Bernard Capital Campaign raised $2.7 million primarily for the construction of the Fazi-Richard Athletic Center and for a health-care facility for the older monks of St. Bernard Abbey.

In 1999, the Millennium Campaign began for the renovation of the St. Bernard Retreat and Conference Center (Boniface Hall) and for the needs in the school (e.g., air conditioning to the dorms, construction of a new football/soccer stadium, etc.).  In the fall of 2004 the $2.5 million goal of this campaign was achieved.

Currently, we are in the final phase of our Heritage Campaign which has a goal of $5 million.  From funds already received from this campaign we have constructed a new and expanded Visitors Center and Gift Shop for Ave Maria Grotto.  This campaign provided the funds to renovate Founders Hall as the new home for the St. Bernard Middle School.

The St. Bernard community expresses it deep gratitude to all our alumni and benefactors who have helped complete these capital improvements to our campus.
