The Parish Center Design Committee has been meeting sporadically this fall as there have been a number of complications. Since the last update, the bishop has given his official approval on the project and the Diocesan Buildings and Properties Department has begun to assist. Based on their recommendations, we are moving forward with a new architect. The Building Department representative and the new architect will begin meeting with Fr. Chad, Steve (Parish Manager), and the Design Committee on a weekly basis beginning in January 2020. There should be more regular updates from that point forward. Currently the plan is to begin construction around summertime of 2020. Financially, the parish currently has a balance of $334,000 for the project and are anticipating approximately $180,000 to come in semi-annually through February 2022 from the parish proceeds of the Together Let Us Go Forth Campaign. The parish has no plans to finance the project, but may front some of funding from cash reserves.
