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).

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.”
