Sample Past Parish Projects
St Anthony’s, West Vancouver Parish Project
“This year we have set a parish goal of $80,000. (This is in addition to the $33,600 raised for the Archdiocese). Given the generous response to the launch of the Appeal, we believe this goal is attainable. Funds will be used for improvements to our church and surrounding grounds. Some projects suggested in the parish survey are equipment to improve safety and security, enhanced exterior lighting, new video projector and screen, garden benches, new furnishings for the parish hall and bicycle racks. We may also direct funds to the new Coordinator of Evangelization position.”
