Capital Campaign:

A Legacy of Love

Ensuring Our Future

A white background with a few lines on it

As we shared, the Marian Center is now in a season of growth and expansion, guided always by faith and trust in God’s Divine Providence. Through A Legacy of Love: Ensuring Our Future Campaign, we are undertaking a $15 million Capital Campaign to secure the long-term future of the Marian Center and preserve this ministry for generations to come.


This capital campaign is not simply about buildings or infrastructure—it is about safeguarding a place where children and adults with diverse abilities are welcomed as gifts from God, each one created in His image and deeply loved.

Through this five-year strategic investment, the Marian Center will strengthen programs, enhance services, expand support for families, and ensure a more inclusive and sustainable future for the individuals entrusted to our care.


Built upon five core campaign pillars, this effort will help ensure that the Marian Center remains a place of dignity, opportunity, faith, and belonging for generations to come.
