McKinney’s Catholic community is set to see the final phase of a major renovation project for its historic parish, while the city’s voters prepare for a busy ballot on Nov. 3, 2026. Both developments are expected to shape daily life for residents in the coming months.
According to Community Impact, the church’s third and final phase will add a new bell tower and upgrade lighting, ceilings, fixtures, and finishes throughout the building. The improvements were detailed in a recent filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, confirming the parish’s commitment to modernizing its worship space while preserving its heritage.
At the same time, McKinney voters are gearing up for the 2026 midterm election, the last chance to cast ballots for a range of local, state, and federal races. The election will be held on Nov. 3, with polling locations open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Community Impact provides a full list of McKinney voting sites, including the Children’s Health StarCenter (6993 Stars Ave.), Collin College campuses, several middle schools, the city hall, fire stations, and the Stonebridge United Methodist Church.
Voters must present a valid form of identification, such as a Texas driver’s license, election identification certificate, personal ID card, handgun license, U.S. military ID with photo, U.S. citizenship certificate with photo, or a U.S. passport, as required by the Texas Secretary of State.
The ballot will feature several high‑profile bond measures. McKinney Independent School District (ISD) proposes four propositions that together total a $500 million bond package aimed at school facility upgrades and safety improvements. Collin County voters will consider a separate four‑proposition, $817.5 million bond package, while Collin College presents a $600 million bond proposition for campus enhancements.
In addition to the bond questions, McKinney residents will vote on federal contests for U.S. House and Senate seats, as well as state races for the Texas House and Senate. Community Impact notes that candidate Q&As and additional election information are available on its website.
Both the church renovation and the upcoming election underscore the community’s focus on preserving local heritage and investing in future growth. The church’s upgrades aim to enhance worship experiences for parishioners, while the bond measures seek to improve educational facilities and infrastructure across the region.
What’s next: The church renovation is slated to begin later this year, with construction timelines to be announced by parish officials. Voters should review the bond proposals and candidate information ahead of the Nov. 3 election, and ensure they have acceptable ID before heading to one of the listed polling locations.
