Our Classroom: the Focus of Our 2025 Fundraising Campaign
Among the rooms on the first floor at Copper Ridge Conference Centre (CRCC) is a classroom for 30 people. For St. Josemaría, education was integral to the development of the whole person, and so he often used the word ‘formation’. He saw that young people needed to be formed, helped to grow, and become good people. But he also saw formation as something everyone needs and he said it was a life-long process. This formation of each generation is our ongoing focus at CRCC.
In his classic and most famous work, “The Way”, St. Josemaría said, “Study. Study in earnest. If you are to be salt and light, you need knowledge, ability…” (No. 340)
To conclude our three-year Secure the Future fundraising campaign, we are raising funds dedicated to CRCC’s classroom. Donors will be recognized in a Donor Appreciation photo book which will reside in the CRCC Living Room. Please consider donating to one of the following levels so that we can reach our goal of $550,000. Donations can be made over a two-year period.

Campaign Progress
Getting Started – Fundraising Together
Some among us are teachers or professors who have dedicated their lives to forming character and teaching critical thinking, while others fondly recall meaningful classroom experiences and the teachers who shaped them. In recognition of this, one of the $25,000 “Learning Partner” opportunities is being crowdfunded under the dedication “The Teachers Among Us — Past and Present.” Please donate today.

Additional Opportunity – Supporting Our Priests
The teacher in our classroom is often one of the Opus Dei priests. When they are at Copper Ridge, the priests stay in the two-bedroom apartment located in the Gate House. This too is available for donation.
