St. Andrew Catholic Church in Fort Worth is preparing for a major addition. A new youth center called the Star of the Sea Youth Center is planned, with construction set to begin in November 2025. The project will expand the church’s community facilities with a two-story building designed to serve students and parish members.
Construction details
According to state filings, the project is a new construction totaling 9,329 square feet. It will be a two-story structure with work scheduled to run from November 2025 through January 2027. The building is expected to enhance the campus with new space dedicated to youth activities and parish events.
Location context
The youth center will rise on the campus of St. Andrew Catholic Church and School, near existing parish buildings such as the Pastoral Center and Parish Hall. The church sits along Dryden Road in Fort Worth’s Tanglewood area, just west of TCU.
Historic aerial imagery from 1956 shows the church and school already present on the site, surrounded mostly by open land. Over the decades, the campus has steadily expanded with new buildings and facilities, shaping the grounds into the larger parish and school community that exists today.
Organization background
St. Andrew Catholic Church is a long-established parish in Fort Worth, home to both worship facilities and St. Andrew Catholic School. The campus also houses parish ministries and community spaces that support local families. The new youth center will expand these services, providing a dedicated facility for student and parish life over the next two years of construction.
