Building the Good Adventure Capital Campaign

We have much to be grateful for at Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati Catholic Church. Amidst the 2020 Covid pandemic that shut down the world for months and the uncertainty that followed, we bravely began the colossal undertaking of founding The Catholic Community of Carolina Forest (CCCF). On February 6, 2023, Bishop Jacques Fabre-Jeune officially made CCCF a parish. Since then, we have grown in households (900+) and ministries (liturgical, social, outreach, formation), in spite of limited space at the Frassati Hub (215 Ronnie Ct) and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School (1300 Carolina Forest Blvd). Neither of these leased spaces have a room that can seat 100 people. This makes the case for our ongoing "Building the Good Adventure" Capital Campaign plain and simple - we are homeless. Yet, we are not hopeless.

What will the first phase of our Frassati parish campus include?

• Parish Life Center (12,340-square-foot building for worship, fellowship, kitchen, office, and meeting space)​
• Frassati Garden & Columbarium with a bronze life-size statue of Pier Giorgio
• Trail for the Stations of the Cross and the Way of the Beatitudes
• 150 new parking spaces

 
What have we accomplished thus far?

• Purchased 7.75 acres from the Diocese next to Seton School
• Cleared the trees needed for the first phase of construction
• Brought power and telecommunications across Carolina Forest Blvd. to develop our conceptual master plan

 
What are the next steps to having the first phase of our parish campus done?​

• Execute contracts for finishing architectural and civil specifications for preliminary bids
• Begin storm water plan with Horry County (6-9 months until approval)
• Finish fundraising $9 million
• Construction after permitting (12-18 months)​
