Project Detail

St. Matthew, Norwalk, CT

In 2021, the Monsignor Walter C. Orlowski Recreation Wellness Center opened as a vibrant addition to the parish campus and a lasting tribute to Monsignor Walter’s vision. While generous support through the We Stand with Christ campaign and other sources helped bring the project to life, a $3 million loan was still required.

Today, the Center thrives, but repayment of this debt remains a pressing priority. The loan matures in Fall 2028, with $1.2 million due at that time and over $1 million still outstanding—unless we act now. Currently, we pay about $15,000 each month, with $12,000 going to interest alone.

We are blessed to share that more than $1.1 million has already been raised toward this effort, reflecting the extraordinary generosity of the parish family. With continued commitment, the parish can free vital resources to strengthen parish life and ministries for years to come.
