Campaign and Project Update 7/14/24

Based on parishioner feedback from the Sept. 2022 survey, the Pastoral Council has explored options to update, beautify, and increase the comfort of our church. The top 4 parishioner priorities are noted below with information the council presented on July 13-14:


Walls/Painting

  • Repair plaster
  • Fresh paint and stenciling to new color scheme
  • Estimated cost - $215,000

Flooring

  • Vinyl tile in main area
  • Ceramic tile in sanctuary
  • Estimated cost - $55,000

Pews

  • Update pews: darker color and new kneelers
  • Estimated cost - $120,000

Air Conditioning

  • Ductless heat pump system
  • Estimated cost - $50,000
  • Note: Air conditioning was not part of the Love One Another Capital Campaign and will need to be paid out of parish funds.

The Pastoral Council would love your feedback! Use the designated box at the back of church or electronically submit your feedback by emailing committee.decorating@gmail.com.

We are currently short of our fundraising goal to complete the entire project. Based on logistics, it's ideal to complete all parts of the redecorating project together.

Additional Redecorating Project Contributions

To help us meet our parish's fundraising goal of at least $450,000 to fund our redecorating project,

please prayerfully consider additional contributions to Resurrection Parish specifically designated for Air Conditioning or Church Redecorating.


"Parishioners must accept responsibility for their parishes and contribute generously - both money and service - to their programs and projects. The success or failure of parish programs, the vitality of parish life, or its absence, the ability or inability of a parish to render needed services to its members and the community, depend on us all."
