Here's an article about our June 7 groundbreaking ceremony that appeared in a local community newpaper called "The Sun Signature."
"The parishioners of San Rafael Catholic Church gathered on June 7 to break ground for the parish's new Family Pastoral Center.
Joining pastor Monsignor Dennis Mikulanis was honored guest Carl DeMaio, San Diego City Councilmember. The event took place at the building site, adjacent to the Hilton Garden Inn Rancho Bernardo.
The building's design is being praised for its energy-efficient lighting and reflective ceiling and window materials, expected to cut energy costs by over 30 percent compared to similar-sized, existing buildings.
When completed in May 2010, the new two-story center will add more than 15,OOO-square-feet of meeting rooms, covered parking and offices for the growing parish's ministries and community outreach.
Established in 1974, San Rafael Parish currently serves over 3,500 Catholic households from Rancho Bernardo, Poway, 4S Ranch and nearby communities. The Church is located at 17252 Bernardo Center Drive in Rancho Bernardo.
