Mother Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Church in Topeka had reached a defining milestone: after twenty years of worshiping in a temporary multipurpose space, parish leadership and families were ready to build a permanent sanctuary worthy of their mission and growth. Fiat Development partnered with the parish to translate that long-cherished dream into a focused, achievable campaign—grounded in their history, articulated through a clear spiritual vision, and supported by a confident plan for a new church that would seat 500 and include spaces like an Adoration Chapel, narthex, and accessible choir loft. The case statement we created helped the community see this moment not as “just a building project,” but as a generational act of faith: a beautiful, lasting home for the Eucharist and a beacon for north Topeka.

This campaign is especially meaningful because it was successfully funded—proof of what can happen when a parish is guided through discernment, feasibility, messaging, and giving strategy with care. By clarifying costs, highlighting future-ready features, and offering practical ways to give over three years, the campaign invited broad participation and empowered families to respond with generosity.
