Workers have poured footings for the gym, planted the underground pilings and graded the parking lot. The regional Catholic diocese based in Jefferson City has raised more than $10.3 million to pay for the project, and construction will continue while the church seeks to raise the remaining $3.7 million to cover the cost of the school, named after Father Augustine Tolton.
The diocese announced earlier this month that a $1 million pledge will be contributed when fundraising reaches the $12 million mark.
