Parish Announcement - Feasibility Study

For more than 100 years, the faithful of St. Mary have gathered to celebrate the Eucharist, to grow in faith, and to serve our community. Each generation has responded to the needs of its time with prayerful reflection and thoughtful action.

As our parish continues to grow and our ministries remain active, parish leadership has identified the need to evaluate our current gathering and ministry space. To carefully assess these needs and determine whether a Parish Center project should move forward, we will begin a ten-week Feasibility Study starting the third week of February and continuing through May 30.

We are working with Trinidad Catholic Fundraising, a bilingual, certified Catholic fundraising firm (CFRE International) with 28 years of experience serving parishes and dioceses, to assist us in conducting this process in an organized and objective manner.

It is important to be clear: this is not a fundraising campaign. No financial commitments are being requested at this time, and no final decisions have been made.
This study is simply a time of listening and evaluation.

While the study will unfold over ten weeks, the most active phase will take place during the month of May. During that time:
• Every registered household will receive a brochure and survey by mail.
• The survey will also be available online.
• Selected parishioners will be invited to participate in confidential interviews.

The results of the study will be reviewed and summarized for the parish. Based on the feedback received, leadership will determine the appropriate next steps.

Your voice matters. Please keep our parish in your prayers during this important time of discernment.

Anuncio parroquial: Estudio de viabilidad

Durante más de 100 años, los fieles de Santa María se han reunido para celebrar la Eucaristía, crecer en la fe y servir a nuestra comunidad. Cada generación ha respondido a las necesidades de su tiempo con reflexión orante y acción responsable.

A medida que nuestra parroquia continúa creciendo y nuestros ministerios permanecen activos, el liderazgo parroquial ha identificado la necesidad de evaluar nuestros espacios actuales de reunión y ministerio. Para analizar cuidadosamente estas necesidades y determinar si un proyecto de Centro Parroquial debe avanzar, iniciaremos un Estudio de Factibilidad de diez semanas comenzando la tercera semana de febrero y continuando hasta el 30 de mayo.

Estamos trabajando con Trinidad Catholic Fundraising, una firma católica bilingüe certificada en recaudación de fondos (CFRE International) con 28 años de experiencia sirviendo a parroquias y diócesis, para ayudarnos a llevar a cabo este proceso de manera organizada y objetiva.

Es importante aclarar: esto no es una campaña de recaudación de fondos todavia. No se están solicitando compromisos financieros y no se han tomado decisiones finales.
Este estudio es simplemente un tiempo de escucha y evaluación.

Aunque el estudio se desarrollará durante diez semanas, la fase más activa tendrá lugar durante el mes de mayo. Durante ese tiempo:
• Cada hogar registrado recibirá por correo un folleto y una encuesta.
• La encuesta también estará disponible en línea.
• Algunos feligreses seleccionados serán invitados a participar en entrevistas confidenciales.

Los resultados del estudio serán revisados y resumidos para la parroquia. Con base en los comentarios recibidos, el liderazgo determinará los próximos pasos apropiados.

Su voz es importante. Por favor mantengan a nuestra parroquia en sus oraciones durante este importante tiempo de discernimiento.

Thank you to all scheduled adoration adorers, for your dedication in committing to an hour of Eucharistic Adoration each Thursday in St. Mary's Chapel.

If not a scheduled adorer, please consider becoming one.

This means committing to spending a scheduled hour each Thursday in prayer and Adoration between the hours of 9am and 5pm. We especially need people to commit to the 11am and 2pm hours.

Also, we need substitutes for those who cannot adore during their scheduled time.
Join us in prayer during Thursday Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, even if not scheduled.
