Eucharistic Adoration Chapel Survey and Plan

ABOUT THE SURVEY

In February 2021, the Pastoral Council developed a parishioner survey to seek input and gauge the general interest and financial support of building a dedicated Eucharistic Adoration Chapel for our parish. On Saturday, March 20, all parishioners received the survey via Flocknote, the bulletin, and our website. Included with the survey was the simple drawing of the preliminary floor plan and the building cost estimate of $250,000. The survey closed on Good Friday, April 2, and survey results were compiled the week of April 5 in a detailed survey report.



APPROVAL AFFIRMED TO BUILD A EUCHARISTIC ADORATION CHAPEL

Upon reviewing the detailed survey report, a final ‘Go’ or ‘No Go’ decision for this proposed project was discussed and voted on at the Pastoral Council meeting on Tuesday, April 13. Father Baxter and the Pastoral Council are pleased to announce the approval of the proposal to build a dedicated Eucharistic Adoration Chapel. An Ad Hoc Steering Committee will be formed to manage the project going forward. Stay-tuned for ongoing updates as we determine the next steps as the project progresses in the weeks and months ahead.

A summary of the responses to each survey question was provided in the April 18 bulletin. Attached below is the detailed survey report.
