Since launching Build Together in 2019, we have accomplished an enormous amount. We have:

• Exceeded our ambitious $4M campaign goal

• Purchased our ideal property, just on the edge of campus, in January 2020

• Installed a fire safety system, including new sprinklers, completed in March 2021

• Renovated the building to meet ADA standards, completed in March 2021

• Solidified plans to turn the garage into a permanent, beautiful chapel. Construction will begin this summer, with a hopeful end date of Fall 2021

• Started a Catholic endowment that will continue to provide for the ongoing maintenance of the Center for years to come

• Opened the Catholic Center to students, from formal events such as a Fish Fry (pre-covid) to casual offerings such as study and social space 

​

In the short time that we have had the Catholic Center open, and in the midst of covid restrictions and complications, the Center has already become a home-away-from-home for students where they can congregate and invite their peers even in this time of disconnection. We are so excited for this next phase in the life of the Brown-RISD Catholic Community!

Although the campaign is completed, there are still naming opportunities available at the Center. If you would like to make a special gift directly to support the Catholic Center, contact Fr. Edmund at edmund_mccullough@brown.edu
