This was previously posted at: http://boonecountycatholics.blogspot.com/2011/09/huntley-church-plans-big-expansion.html Appears to be some changes have occurred –cost was $5 million now $7 million. Now appears that fund raising will not fund all of the project.
After only 10 years, St. Mary Catholic Church in Huntley already has outgrown its building and is seeking new space in which to grow its ministry.
The church hopes to build a 32,567-square-foot, single-story addition that would include a 600-person parish hall, a small chapel, office space, a full kitchen and 10 rooms that could be split into 17 meeting rooms, said Monsignor Steve Knox, the church’s pastor since 2004.
Church leaders brought the project to the Huntley village board’s committee of the whole last week and the body sent it to the planning and zoning commission for future review.
The project, designed by Barrington-based Ruck Pate Architecture, is expected to cost $7 million. The church plans to raise a large chunk of the money among its parishioners before applying for a loan, Knox said.

The Parish Ministry Center addition at St. Mary's in Huntley cost $8 million dollars to build and has been complete and in use for about a year and a half. The current debt on the building (and the only debt the parish has) is $7 hundred thousand and is projected to be paid off in full by mid 2015.
