To Renovate or Build New?
This question about the convent building has faced the Facilities Committee for a long time. The more information we collect, the more obvious it becomes that we will get much more “building for our buck” if we renovate. The $2.5 million sketch we showed at November’s All Parish Meeting was a top-of-the- line, Grade-A plan. For the same amount of money, we could get an average, so-so new building. But because $2.5 million is still a LOT of money, we are exploring the possibility of trimming down a few features from the Renovation Plan, in hopes that we can have a Plan B on hand, in case the Archdiocese recommends a more scaled-down project. We continue to ask for your prayers as a comprehensive plan for our facilities is hammered out.
