Parish Feasibility Study Underway

 
The St. Peter Parish Facility Feasibility Study is underway.   All Parishioners of St. Peter should have
received a mailing that includes a letter from Father Fabio along with information about this exciting project. If you have not received this information in the mail please contact Geri Pantelleria in the Parish Office at 269-857-7951  x4 and we’ll remedy that.  The feasibility study includes a combination of mailed surveys as well as some individual personal interviews.  If you received a survey and prefer instead to share your thoughts personally with a member of The Breton Group, contact Christina Firmiss at 616-836-6364 and we will schedule a time for your personal interview.  Also, if Christina has been in contact with you, but you have not connected to set up the interview, please contact her
 

 Deadline Approaching for completing
Feasibility Surveys
 

The Deadline for Returning Feasibility Study Survey is Dec. 16, 2018.

Please drop your completed Survey in one of the boxes located at each entrance to the Church. If you have not already done so, please complete and return the survey. If you have misplaced your survey, extra copies are available in the Parish Office. You also have the option of completing the survey on-line at www.surveymonkey.com/r/stpeter by Dec. 16, 2018.  Remember, your feedback is confidential. 
 The proposed plan that has emerged is the result of a very lengthy and comprehensive assessment.  The
proposed enhanced facilities will strengthen our Catholic identity, allow us to welcome and serve new families, youth, current members, and those seeking spiritual nourishment with open arms!  The plan is
designed to ensure we are positioned for the future - moving our mission forward by creating a community of Faith by proclaiming and teaching God's Word, celebrating the Sacred Mysteries and serving others.  Your feedback is very important to our success and decision making. Thank you for participating in this important feasibility study. May we all follow the prompting of our Lord to do His will, not ours.
 

For well over a year our Parish has been studying and discussing facility needs.  Our sense of Mission, the need to evolve and grow our Parish Family, and of course continuing to minister to our current Parishioners, has been at the forefront of this process.  After considerable analysis, feedback from Parishioners, and prayer, a Master Plan has emerged along with a first step of proposed implementation.  It is only a preliminary design with many details yet to be flushed out.  The design does, however, provide us a basic structure and estimated costs. 
The next step in the process is to conduct a feasibility study.  A feasibility study welcomes everyone’s opinions and thoughts regarding the proposed plans.  The goal of the feasibility study is to assess the overall support of the parish before determining if the work should move forward.   The feasibility study involves obtaining feedback from Parishioners by either a personal confidential interview or completing a survey. 
All Parishioner feedback is confidential and only viewed by The Breton Group [see below] who will provide a summarized final report of all feedback to Parish Leadership.  Your feedback, this report, will guide Leadership regarding the proposed plan and a potential capital campaign. 
Please, if possible, attend one of the Parishioner Meetings noted above to learn more about the proposed plans.  Look for more details on the feasibility study in next week's Bulletin. 
Let us all continue to prayerfully reflect on the importance of our Catholic Community here in Douglas ensuring a strong presence in the future.
