St. Michael the Archangel Parish in Streator will launch its Building Our Future capital campaign with a series of public receptions beginning later this month.

According to a letter to church members, the campaign will focus on plans to build a new church for the parish.

Monsignor Philip D. Halfacre, pastor of St. Michael the Archangel Parish, said the campaign marks a significant milestone in the parish’s nearly 150-year history.

“For years we have considered how best to prepare for the future,” Halfacre said in a letter to parishioners. “Now, with faith and hope, we look forward to building a new church that will serve our families today and for generations to come.”
