Building & Renovation Costs
Last January the Catholic Spirit ran an article about all the parishes that had building or remodeling projects before the Archdiocesan Building Commission (ABC). The scope of projects listed covered quite a range. Divine Mercy: $12.5 million. Mary, Mother of the Church: $3.6 million. Nativity of Our Lord: $15 million. Our Lady of Lourdes: $4 million. St. Mary: $2.3 million.

The Facilities Committee will soon come up with a “projected” cost total, which will represent the perceived needs, wants and hopes we have for our parish. This total will have to be balanced by the dollar amount that comes as a result of our “Feasibility Study.” It doesn’t matter how the cost of our renovation project compares with those of other parishes. All that matters is what is right for St. Joseph’s Parish.

Please continue to use the prayer cards we distributed. We suggest these intentions: 1) For the
success of our renovation project; 2) That God will guide us as we discern the amount of support we can give. Extra prayer cards are still available at the Church entrances. Thank You!
