Holy Angels - Capital Campaign Survey
-
The property and capital committees are looking for parishioners’ feedback and opinions before undertaking a new campaign for Holy Angels Church. There are numerous projects/repairs/maintenance items within the Church that will require significant funds to undertake them.
Currently, Holy Angels Parish maintains a debt with the Diocese in the current amount of $ 610,500. To proceed with any new projects, and be able to access additional required financing, the current loan must be paid off and 70% of the funds for any new project must be raised.
The Property Committee is seeking your input to determine which projects are a priority for you, what level of funding commitment can be achieved, and to see if your concerns are being addressed.
The projects have been grouped into 4 ‘buckets’. The individual projects within each group have commonality or/and are part of an overall plan moving forward. While all the work must be undertaken and completed over time, assessing the priority for completion, timing for each group, and availability of funding must be determined. Below is a brief description of the prioritized and necessary 4 main ‘buckets’.
1. Boiler and Elevator Maintenance/Repair – this includes annual inspections and maintenance required for all operating devices within the facility, the insulation of exposed pipes and energy saving projects, and the planned replacement for the 3 heating boilers. $ 585,600.
2. Exterior Masonry and Basement Firestopping – this includes the repair/repointing of the walls and chimney of the Rectory, replacement of all caulking, ventilation and upgrade to the stained-glass windows, new side entrance doors with panic hardware, and the fireproofing of the basement columns and perimeter of the ceiling. $ 570,000.
3. Front Entrance/Stairs - the restoration of the front entrance doors and access stairs, retaining wall and any needed repairs to the foundation as required during construction and removal. $ 1,330,000.
4. Security and Life Safety – installation of a fire/smoke alarm system within the Church and basement, new fire-rated doors and frames as required within the basement, security camera system, security fencing and Rectory courtyard. $ 430,500.
