Timeline
Phase I - Construction of a new Chapel, expanded ministry and administrative space.

Phase II - Demolition and rebuilding of the remaining parts of the Center so as to best utilize the space, modernize utilities, and clearly delineate worship space from recreation space (solving our single greatest issue — allowing students to “pray” and “play” at the same time).

Video
Becasue we are so hip we decided to make a 3D video displaying the future Chapel and Center. Click here to view the videos.

Project Funding
Thanks in large part to the generous people of God of the Diocese of Peoria, St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Newman Center has been given a $3,000,000 jumpstart from the Rooted in Faith Campaign for the construction of a new Chapel and expanded ministry and administrative space. Hundreds of benefactors across the diocese have given specifically to the St. Robert Bellarmine Initiative.
