| Feasibility Study
In working with parish leaders and after much prayer and discernment, we have decided to conduct a feasibility study to determine how a capital campaign will contribute to the funding of debt reduction, a full-time youth ministry position, and an adoration chapel.
Over the course of the next several weeks, we will be inviting all of you to participate in this feasibility study. We want to provide each of you with the opportunity to let us know YOUR feelings regarding our plans.
Many of you will be receiving a letter requesting a personal interview; please respond to us as soon as possible. The interview will ideally be done at either of the parish campuses, or, if needed, can be arranged over the phone. Please call the parish office to schedule an appointment.
Also, many of you will be receiving a questionnaire in the mail. You may complete this online following the instructions in the letter you receive, or you may complete it and return it in the envelope provided.
Thank you in advance for your participation.
Fr. Paul
