Professional firm recommended by Diocese

Interior – semi-circular seating

  • Current pews likely to be re-used

  • Interior art & environment – some additions/large Crucifix

  • Re-use Current Statuary

  • Re-use elements of windows

  • Re-use Stations

  • Re-use Alter

WHEN WILL WE BUILD?
 

Diocese loan program currently being reviewed/revised
 

Obviously, the more successful the current drive, the better (projected $2.5 to $3 million)
 

Plan preparation alone will take +/- 1 year
 

A THIRD Capital Campaign will likely be needed to pay off incurred debt
