We Need to Act Now !

For 139 years, Old St. Hubert's Church has stood at the heart of Chanhassen — surviving two World Wars, the Great Depression, and 25 presidencies. It has held baptisms, weddings, funerals, and quiet moments that stayed with people for the rest of their lives. Today, it is the last remaining historic landmark in this community. And right now, its future is in our hands.

We have until June 8th to raise $29,000:

Fr. Talbot, Pastor of St. Hubert’s, following a conversation with community leaders gave permission for the Save Old St Hubert Committee to have until June 8th to raise $29,000 to fund a feasibility study. These funds will hire a professional fundraiser that would conduct the feasibility study, the essential next step in determining whether this community can support a $2.5 million restoration effort. The feasibility study would take approximately two months. Without the $29,000 to fund the study, the conversation ends.

The community has already spoken:

A survey by St. Hubert Parish found 58% of respondents support restoration. Among Chanhassen community members, that number rises to 75%. Within the parish itself, only 39 more people voted against restoration than for it. That is not a mandate to demolish. That is a community asking for more time and more conversation.

Who we are:

The SOS Save Old St. Hubert's Committee formed in December with one purpose: to make sure this community gets to fully weigh in. Our committee includes a former city administrator, a former Mayor of Chanhassen, a former Minnesota state legislator, founding family descendants, and the Chanhassen Historical Society. We are neighbors who believe this place deserves more than a quiet exit.

Our initial estimates put restoration at approximately $1.5 million, with an additional $1 million endowment to fund ongoing maintenance. It's a real plan, built by people committed to seeing it through.

Your contribution goes 100% toward this effort through our nonprofit partner, the Community Asset Foundation, and is fully tax-deductible.

We're not asking the city, county or parish for financial assistance. We're asking the community this church has always belonged to.

No contribution is to small. Please give if you're able. Then share this with someone else who would want to know.

Contributions for the feasibility study can be made by check payable to Community Asset Foundation for the benefit of SOS (Save Old St Hubert)at 21 Carvers Green Chaska, Chaska, MN 55318.
