HNJ Parish 4-Year Plan
for Church Capital Improvements
We're looking for opinions and ideas from parishioners …

Our parish will host the 2012 Diocesan Synod. Delegates from our sister parishes in the diocese, a new diocesan bishop and a new Prime Bishop will be in attendance at that time. In preparation for that event, the Parish Committee would like to establish a four-year plan for capital improvements around the church.

Many ideas have been submitted, such as:

- repairing the front exterior entrance area of the church
- repairing or replacing the front church doors
- church kitchen improvements
- hall improvement
- replacement windows in the hall
- sidewalk replacements
- side entrance repairs
- steeple repairs

Click here to take our informal online poll now!
Are there other improvements we should consider? Let us know!

Obviously we will not be able to address all of these issues due to financial constraints and we will have to prioritize, but at this point we are only asking your opinions on physical church repairs over the next four years. Suggestions may be made to Don Skroski (Parish Committee Chairman), or to Fr. Randy. Thank you.
