Can we afford to build anything substantial in the present economy, and would younger parishioners be able to afford it?
The answer to these questions is what we’re attempting to determine at this time. All we have decided so far is that something must be done to solve the problems in the parish. The present phase is to determine, on a priority basis, what we can afford to build based on what the parishioners will support. A recently held fund-rasing planning study report conducted by Walsh and Associates claims that fund-raising could raise an amount between $2.0M to $3.0M using various indicators and findings. One concern turned up in the study was the potential lack of volunteers within the parish to conduct a fund-raiser.
