Questions Discussed
The preliminary estimate is the Renovation Plan Cost would be
$1.5 – 3.0 Million
Why would we not consider building a new Worship Space that
would seat more people and would accommodate our future
growth?
Questions Discussed (continued)
Why would we not consider building a new Worship Space that
would seat more people and would accommodate our future
growth?
 Cost of new worship space $8 – 12 Million
 5 – 6 years before we could hold the first mass
 This Assumes that we raise the funding required by the
diocese
 Some of the Parishes who have built new churches are having
difficult time making their monthly loan payments
Questions Discussed (continued)
With The Renovation Plan
 The Renovated of Centrum will be completed in August 2014
 Parishioners would enjoy an enhanced “worship experience” 5 Years
sooner
 The HVAC problems of noise and fan blowing down on members
would be corrected
 New Lighting will enhance the “worship experience”
 Interior finishes will make the centrum warmer and more inviting
 The enhanced “worship experience” will attract new members
 We believe the Renovation Plan is a more fiscally responsible
approach rather than building a new church
Questions Discussed (continued)
Our present seating arrangement maximizes the number of seats
in the Centrum. Several of the Needs List items would reduce the
that number. How many seats will we lose with the Renovation
Plan?
 More seating for the disabled and making the sanctuary more
accessibility to the disabled will reduce the number of seats
 Presently we have 584 seats and 6 disability spaces
 We will instruct the Architect to maximize the number of seats
 WE WILL LOSE SEATS with the new plan but will not know
how many until the Architects plans are completed
Questions Discussed (continued)
Will we be required to install kneelers by the diocese’s
Renovation Committee ?
We do not know at this time whether we will have to install
kneelers. We believe kneelers are required when a new church is
built. There is a question whether kneelers will be required when
a Centrum is renovated.
We are working on getting the answer to the question of
kneelers.
Questions Discussed (continued)
Are we going to replace the uncomfortable chairs that we now
have in the Centrum?
The plan is to have to replace the present chairs with new and
comfortable seating.
Questions Discussed (continued)
Lots of Discussion about “Enhanced Worship Experience”
The more we discussed the Centrum and the more we learned we
realized the importance of the most important components to an
“Enhanced Worship Experienced
 Even temperature throughout Centrum and no air blowing on you
 A sound system that allow you hear anywhere in the Centrum
 Lighting that allow you to see the words in the hymnal, lighting of the
baptismal font and spot lighting stations of the cross on the walls
 Comfortable seats
