Walking in the Footstepsof Our Founders

Building our Legacy for the 21st

Century

"Unless the Lord builds the house, they

labor in vain that build it." Psalms 127:1


2/22

Where Others Have Walked In 1961, 14 Catholics in the Black Forest

took the first steps Parish Founded On Christmas, 1965, they dedicated a

church built with their own hands In the 1970s, a Rectory was built for a

resident pastor In 1987, the Annex was added to serve the

growing community


3/22

Where We Have Recently

Traveled Our parish grew steadily until it was 585

registered households by the start of 2003

The Inn was full

From 2000 through 2004 a Capital

Campaign was conducted to raise $1.2M

On December 8, 2004, we dedicated our

beautiful new church


4/22

Where the Road Has Led Since Grown from 585 to 825 households . . .

And still growing!

Over 200 students attend our Youth

Program

Approximately 175 attend our K-5

program

Our mass attendance has grown from an

average of 750 to 950 per weekend!


5/22

At Current Levels Our Classrooms are full!

(note the temps!) Our Parish Hall (OCB & Annex) cannot

hold a large-sized parish event Our Office Space is full and unsafe!

Our church at 10:30 mass is getting tight . . . Did I mention we havent stopped

growing!!


6/22

Our Needs

More and larger classrooms

A larger better equipped parish hall

More, safer and better equipped offices and

meeting rooms

Expansion of our church seating


7/22

But Can We Afford It?

We currently owe $1.6M on current church

Arent we struggling to pay our bills?

How much will the new building cost?

Do the Financial numbers support this

direction?


8/22

The Answer is Happily Yes! Current mortgage

Struggling to pay

bills?

Trends predict that

we can accelerate

payment of themortgage as we build

capacity to pay for

both buildings

No. We are always

behind in the Fall.

We actually are ahead

15% year-to-year


9/22

Why Cant We Pay Off

Mortgage First? We could . . . , but . . .

It would take 7-8 years to pay off mortgage at

accelerated pace. Adding 4 years for a three year Capital

Campaign and construction, we would nothave the larger facility for 12 years

By 2019 (twelve years), we are predictedto be at 1400-1500 households, ourestimated maximum size. That is nearly

double! This factors in a successful St.Benedicts!


10/22

Whats the Cost to the Parish if

we delay building? We will not fulfill our mission to serve

every soul in our parish boundaries.

Parishioners grow discouraged and leave

the church, burdening neighboring

parishes, or . . . Leave the faith!


11/22

So How Can We Afford This

Now?

$172,000$49,000$1,095,0002012-13

$122,000$45,000$996,0002011-12

Paydown/CapacityAdd BudgetOffertory(10% growth)

Year


12/22

So, Where Does That Leave Us Existing Mortgage by end of 2011 will be

in the $1.1 to 1.2M range And we will have the Capacity to continue

to pay that existing mortgage + themortgage for the new building.

Guess what happens the next year? We arepositioned to begin to accelerate thepayments of both!


13/22

But Isnt There Still A Risk Up Until We Break Ground, This Part is

Virtually Free! Minor architecture costs at this point

No Major Costs Until We Break Ground!

Can Delay Construction if we havent met

our financial targets Can stage phases of construction, if

necessary!


14/22

So Which Is MORE Risky? Wait until 2019

Fail to serve our

mission Lose parishioners

Start Now! Position ourselves to

have these facilitiesby 2011

Can simply not build

if not financial ready

Can phaseconstruction if

partially ready


15/22

What is So Special About 2011? Fastest we can get there!

50th Anniversary of Our Lady of the Pines!!

Shall we set the target and Print the Ticket? December 8, 2011, our Parish Feast Day!
