Where do we go from here?

This week saw the first meeting of the working group to make recommendations about the restoration. The group is intentionally small at this moment, but we will grow as time passes and our needs change. Currently the committee consists of:

· Myself as pastor

· Gabe Riesco, business manager

· Jack Galassini, Finance Council Liaison

· Ramona Salder, Pastoral Council liaison

· Deacon Gulley

· David Barranco

We meet Wednesday to begin to talk about our options and to “Dream” about the possibilities. We have agreed that we need to bring in a professional designer to help us make educated and artful choices. As we get further down the road I will share our thoughts with you and elicit your feedback and ask for other suggestions.

One way I will measure parish opinion will be through informal (and non-bindingJ) polls here on this blog. The poll made it clear that the vast majority of people wanted the statues preserved. We are trying to make that happen! Our next poll will be to see if people want the pews cushioned. Please let me know your thoughts by responding to the poll and leaving responses to this post.
