St. Angela Merici Catholic Church
Master Plan Questionnaire Summary 787 Total Responses
On November 15th and 16th, 2014 St. Angela Parishioners and Visitors completed the Master Plan Questionnaire. Thank you for your participation and valuable input. The data has been compiled, every comment read, and all information has been considered and discussed with the Building Committee. Following is a brief summary of results:
The people of St Angela want to project a youthful, welcoming and vibrant image, spiritually open to all segments of the community, and clearly Catholic. Young families with children and a warm diversity of cultures are noted as strengths to be considered in planning for our growth. “Simply not enough space…” is the overwhelming report of the people when asked about limitations of the current facilities. Specific requests for new facilities focus on a dedicated church building, more classrooms and meeting spaces, a Catholic School, parish hall and parish offices. Our greatest needs are believed to be pews and kneelers in a true worship space, a multi-purpose parish hall with full kitchen, classrooms, parish offices on the property, and an additional entry/exit drive from parking areas.
