Building Committee
The US Bishops wrote a pastoral letter "Stewardship: A Disciple's Response". One of the implications is that we consider the use of our existing facilities in the broader context of needs of the community. A Kitchen and Hall might mean providing meals for the elderly and poor. Classrooms or offices that are empty during the day might be used for other groups to provide valuable services to the community, or daycare for needy moms, etc. Available land might provide need athletic fields for the community.

Although I think it is great to think of the needs of the larger community, I also believe that we should think of the needs of the parishioners.
After seeing so many children at the children's mass this Sunday, and knowing that it is difficult to find day care centers that teach Catholic values, I think one of the needs may be a day care center set up for parishioners and people in the community who want their children to be raised with Catholic values.
