Happy Advent! The Master Plan Committee and SFS Architecture have been prayerfully and diligently meeting for the last couple of months to make sure the new Master Plan for Sacred Heart of Jesus is ready. We had some great Town Hall meetings in the fall to give everyone the feedback of the surveys that the parish filled out at large. Thank you to all who participated in those.
READ MOREQ: What is the time frame for this project?
A: The Master Plan is expected to be completed by mid-December. In the second quarter of 2025, we plan to conduct a feasibility study with a representative group from our parish to gauge support for the plan. If the feedback is positive and we are in a good financial standing, we will then seek the Archbishop's approval to launch a Capital Campaign to fund the project.
Q: I've got the sense from talking to parish groups that the scheduling capabilities for meeting spaces may be as much of an issue as the actual space limitations themselves. Could group leaders be approved to have some self-scheduling capabilities? The way it was described sounded like the calendars were manually managed and you had to speak to someone each time your group wanted to meet or change time/location.
A: Sacred Heart utilizes an online event calendar for scheduling meeting spaces. While a staff member manages all space requests and updates, this makes sure that we are maintaining oversight to avoid any room conflicts.
