4. Please indicate your feelings regarding the importance of the following projects at your parish.
A)  Handicapped accessible entrance to the front door of the rectory. The existing “accessibility” is cumbersome, outdated, and difficult to maneuver.
B)  Refurbishment of the 25-year-old chapel including repairs, drywall, paint, flooring, and other structural repairs.
C) Lighting additions to the main church, especially the nave, front of the sanctuary, and the choir loft, where areas are ill-lit and unsafe. Upgrades would increase efficiency and lower electricity power costs significantly.
D) Exterior brick repointing and masonry throughout the campus.
5. To complete the capital improvements, we will need to raise $1 million.
Are you in favor of a capital campaign to help meet this financial commitment?
6. One million dollars would be used for the facility improvements and the second million dollars will fund an endowment for the Parish. An endowment would offer a sustainable source of income for the parish by preserving the principal and ensuring long-term financial stability. The objective is to celebrate 100 years as a parish with strong financial resources to support future needs.
A) 
7. Any amount over and above two million dollars would be utilized to reduce the mortgage balance. Currently, the parish pays over $110,000 per year on the $1.3M mortgage which applies to the interest and minimally reduces the principal. Please note: Should the parish indicate that the debt is of greater importance than the endowment, the priorities may change.
A) 
8. Would you consider making a 3-year pledge commitment to the campaign?
