Master Plan

St. Joseph Catholic Church Plan

MASTER PLAN UPDATE, Oct. 16, 2016

This is what has been happening behind the scenes:

So Far:

  • Parish leadership interviewed firms for a feasibility study1 . As a result, the “Covenant Group”2 was chosen in February of 2016.
  • In March, the feasibility study was going to kick off but when the news of a possible change in pastor became evident, we were advised and parish leadership thought it best to wait.
  • In July, Fr. Rodriguez as appointed as our parochial administrator.
  • In September, Fr. Rodriguez and Mrs. Fewell were invited to do an initial revision of the Master Plan with our architect Entheos.
  • In October, a formal revision of the Master Plan was done with Entheos.

What’s Next:

  • Entheos, our architect, will bring a revised Master Plan to be approved by Father, Mrs. Fewell’s and the Master plan committee.
  • A parish presentation of the approved Master plan will be scheduled.
  • The feasibility study will be conducted, which can take up to 90 days.
  • The results of the study will be presented to the Archdiocese of Indianapolis for their approval.
  • The capital campaign will start in full swing.

1 The feasibility study will help us determine if we will be successful in our capital campaign. We will be giving more information in the future with how you can help.
