Tuesday, January 15th, 7:30 – 8:30 in the Father Martin
room, Chapter 5, pp. 128-150. PROPOSALS FOR THE PARISH TO CONSIDER:
Our music ministry has asked for a retractable screen on the wall above
the choir section and the mounting of a computer projector (which we have)
from the ceiling. This proposal will be before Parish Pastoral Council on
Tuesday, January 16th and is open for comment. We are also looking at renovating the sanctuary area
(up front) over the next few months. At
present we have exposed wiring in the choir section (not acceptable according
to code) and a need for re-carpeting. The whole sanctuary will be looked at in regards to steps,
re-wiring, and establishing a Blessed Sacrament area and choir pit.
To be funded by last year’s bazaar.
Floor plans to come at a later date. Lastly, we are thinking about removing the tall
cedar bushes separating the parking lot from the Parish Office.
Though they serve as sound barriers and are aesthetically pleasing,
they are also serving as a cover for inappropriate behavior during the summer.
A more open landscaping design will be considered.
We are open to ideas and suggestions.
