Is the Covered Entrance Canopy Out Back Really Necessary?
When visiting area parishes, the canopy was one of the most liked amenities to provide comfort during inclement weather, which we often experience in Minnesota. Campaign leadership will make decisions regarding additional options as fundraised monies become available. At this writing, the canopy, which was bid at approximately $93,000, has been removed from the plan. If we are able to fundraise more than the planned goal, campaign leaders have agreed that this will be a top priority to have funding restored. Even if it is not included in the initial construction all the necessary preparations, such as footings and attachments will be built to assure it may be added with minimal cost and disruption.
