THE DEVELOPMENT OF ST. MICHAEL'S LOFT INTO HIGH QUALITY RENTAL SPACE FOR THE USE OF QUALIFIED NON-PROFITS IS A VISION OF ST. MONICA PASTOR FR. JON THOMAS. THE SMCPS SUPPORTS FR. JON THOMAS ON THIS PROJECT AND BEGAN ITS WORK WITH THE RENOVATION OF A SECOND FLOOR BATHROOM IN THE LOFT.(SEE THE ACTIVITIES TAB IN THE EVENTS SECTION).

​

CURRENTLY THE LOFT HAS THREE TENANTS: THE BONNIE BLUE FOUNDATION, THE MUD GIRLS- A CRAFT PRODUCTION STUDIO AND THE HR RECOVERY INITIATIVE, A GROUP WORKING TO RESTORE HUMAN RIGHTS FOR SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING. WHILE IT IS BEING USED IT ALSO NEEDS RENOVATION AND IMPROVEMENTS. THIS PROJECT WOULD ASSURE THAT THE CHURCH BELOW AND BESIDE THE LOFT WOULD BE SECURE FROM ANY POTENTIAL STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. LOFT OCCUPANCY ALSO IMPROVES USAGE OF THE CAMPUS FACILITIES,  MAKES THE CHURCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE COMMUNITY, AND INCREASES FOOT TRAFFIC IN AND AROUND THE CHURCH TO DISCOURAGE VANDALISM.  A NEWLY RENOVATED LOFT IS MORE ATTRACTIVE TO PRESENT AND FUTURE RENTERS AND CAN POTENTIALLY GENERATE MORE INCOME TO IMPROVE THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF ST. MICHAEL'S AND THE PARISH OF ST. MONICA.
