CONTEXT:

Several factors have contributed to the recent establishment of a Building Assessment Committee by our pastor, Finance Council and Pastoral Council:
  • St. Ann’s current parish hall facility is in need of some updates -- cosmetic, technological, etc.
  • Half of the parish hall was built over fifty years ago; the other half over twenty-five years ago
  • An anonymous parishioner has pledged some significant seed monies for the project
We need your thoughts as to how we can best utilize our resources and meet the facility needs of the St. Ann’s parish family for the near and distant future (10, 20, 30+) years.  Thank you for your participation in this survey!
