St. Aloysius
CAMPUS MASTER PLAN

INTRODUCTION

Founded in 1955, St. Aloysius is one the largest church congregations in the Baton Rouge

diocese and home to one of the finest Catholic schools educating over 1,150 children

annually with high-quality instruction within a family atmosphere and a Childcare Center

supporting almost 200 families. St. Aloysius is currently embarking on the next phase of

master planning for the church and school campus. Steady investments have been made to

expand and improve facilities, including renovating classroom buildings in 2002 and 2005,

adding the auxiliary gym in 2006, building the new childcare center in 2015 and the new

pastoral services center in 2016. But there is a continued need for additional upgrades,

expansions and improvements to serve the future needs of the church and school.

A survey was conducted to better understand the needs of the St. Aloysius community

and seek input on priorities for near-term investment in our church and school campus. The survey was fielded from Thursday, March 13, 2025 to Monday, April 28, 2025.

In total 1,810 responses were received. Respondents were asked to identify their

affiliation(s) with St. Aloysius. The majority indicated that they are church parishioners

(1,577 responses, 87.1%), followed by those with a child who currently attends a St.

Aloysius school or childcare center (790 responses, 43.6%) and those with a

child/grandchild that previously attended a St. Aloysius school or childcare center (443

responses, 24.5%). The majority of responses also were received from those who have

been affiliated with St. Aloysius for more than eleven years (1,177 respondents, 65.0%).

Additionally, many responses were received from those aged 31 – 50 years (913

respondents, 50.4%) or 51 years and older (701 respondents. 38.7%).

Survey participants were asked a series of open-ended questions about why they continue

to choose St. Aloysius, what they love most about the organization, its unique attributes,

and what they would change about the campuses. Common themes emerged across

responses to all questions. Respondents consistently provided exceptionally positive

feedback regarding the strong, faith-filled community established at St. Aloysius, its

welcoming atmosphere, and its rich history and legacy. The built assets of the church and

school campuses most frequently mentioned included campus buildings needing renovation, particularly the gym and Gonzaga Hall, along with desired additions such as an adoration chapel and columbarium.
