Capital Campaign Update
Open House
 St. Joseph - San Jose Conference Room & Kitchen
May 25/26, 2019
 
This is a special weekend for the Capital Campaign. We usually look to the future but this weekend in a special way we are looking back at what we have accomplished. Please join us after Mass to see two completed Campaign projects made possible by Campaign contributions and volunteer effort. Refreshments will be served.
 
First, we totally remodeled Classroom 5 creating an attractive and functional conference room. This was a total makeover: we removed the original heating system under the windows increasing the usable room space, dropped the ceiling, installed new LED lights, new energy efficient windows with shades, new carpet, new air conditioning, sound proofing, finish work and painting, and sixteen feet of new white board. We added new conference room tables and chairs, and gave Room 5 a new name:  St. Joseph - San Jose Conference Room. We have already been renting it to outside users. The total cost of this project was  $39,955.
 
Our other major project was a total renovation of our kitchen. We started by moving everything out including the stainless countertops, gas range, dishwasher and all cupboard contents and shelving, and put it all into temporary storage during the renovation. The floor contained asbestos so we contracted with a licensed asbestos abatement contractor to fully enclose the space, to remove the floor tiles and adhesive and prepare the floor surface in the kitchen, pantry, and entry hallway.  A new long-life specialty coating was applied to the floor in these three areas.  All kitchen and pantry cabinet shelves were cleaned, primed and painted. In the pantry, the walls, ceiling, cabinet interiors and exteriors were painted. In the kitchen, the walls, ceiling, and cabinet interiors were painted, but the natural wood cabinet exteriors were cleaned and left bright natural wood. New high efficiency LED lighting was installed in the kitchen, pantry, and alcove.  New energy efficient windows were installed in the kitchen, alcove, and craft room. Pull down kitchen service doors were refinished on the inside. 
 
 
 The Women's Society members, in addition to contributing personal effort, donated the entire cost of asbestos abatement ($6,283), thereby reducing the total kitchen renovation cost charged to the Capital Campaign. The total cost of this project including asbestos abatement was $ 28,739 and does not include over 250 hours of volunteer effort.
 
So what's next?  We recently finished re-siding three sides of the Church, and are ready for paint June 1. Next week we will begin doing some outdoor concrete repairs, including the replacement of the narrow sidewalk linking the front sidewalk with the East Office entry. Our interior Sanctuary design is in the hands of the architect who will draft our plan for Archdiocese approval, we hope in June.  The first step in our plan for the interior is the removal of the Baptismal Pool and this project, already approved by the Archdiocese, will be completed in June. This project along with the other outside concrete work has been approved by the Archdiocese for a 50% cost share Safety Grant because the work will eliminate significant safety hazards. This arrangement reduces our costs charged to the Capital Campaign by $ 7,675. Our Baptismal Font will eventually be replaced by an above-the-floor, probably moveable Baptismal Font. This is a summary of where we are.
 
It is a pleasure to report positive progress. Thank you for your support of the Capital Campaign.  
 
Please join us for a quick tour and refreshments .

Paint Color Choices
Vote Weekend of May 25/26
 
 
I know that the 1st of June is on everyone's mind because that is the date for the all important  Annual Chili Feed, just two weeks away. But the 1st of June is also important because that is the date our contractor plans to begin the process of prep work and painting the exterior of the church and Buccini Hall.

Everything is in place to get the paint ball rolling except for one very important detail. We need to decide on color, and for that we need your help. Several color choices have been suggested by a color consultant, and we have narrowed the list down to three choices each of body color and trim color. Next weekend at each Mass we will vote by written ballot on a body color and trim color.
 
The final color choices have been painted on the exterior wall in two places near the church front and parking lot entries. Please take a new look at those choices because they may have changed since you last looked. The colors shown are the final choices, they will not change over the next week.
 
Body colors are labeled numerically ( 1,2,3 ), and trim colors are labeled alphabetically ( A, B, C).
There are nine possible choices since each of three body colors can be matched with each of three trim colors. Next weekend we will ask for your first, second, and third choices. Your votes will be in alpha numeric form, that is if your first choice is body color #2 and trim color B, your vote for first choice would be 2B, and similarly for other choices.
 
So please look closely at the color samples on the outside walls, and come to Mass next weekend with your important votes. We look forward to starting this important project.
 
Thank you.

PASTORAL COUNCIL ELECTION – to be read after announcements

 
Hi, my name is Paula Monroe, from the Pastoral Council.
Two weeks ago, we asked the parishioners at each mass to nominate candidates for the two positions that are up for election this year.  The nominations were tallied, and the top candidates for consideration have been listed on the ballots in the pews. 
This weekend, we are asking parishioners to choose who will fill these open positions.  At this time, we request that each adult member in the pews take a ballot.  If you need a pencil or pen, raise your hand and the ushers will come around to provide one. 
Please vote for 2 candidates from the list.  Again, every adult parishioner is requested to vote for two candidates.
When you are finished, please fold your ballot and hold it up for the ushers to collect.
Thank you for participating in this process.  After the votes have been counted this coming week, the selected pastoral council members will be announced.

The form will ask for the name of the Saint and why that Saint would be a good choice for a name on our conference room door.
