On Tuesday, the first meeting of the building committee took place.
The discussion that took place was to define the job of the committee? Fr. Perry noted that the roll of the committee should be to discern the needs of the parish. Visualize and set goals. Education in liturgical matters. Collaborate with a liturgical consultant/architect. Much of the evening was spent trying to create a long term vision. What will the needs of the community be 20 years from now and what will the property accommodate.
As a parish, we all need to be considering what our families will need in terms of the parish community. What are the space requirements of these needs.
I have posted a poll at the top of the page(as you can see). These are just some ideas of what we can do with the property; keeping in mind that a Sanctuary is obvious and central to the project. If you have additional thoughts or ideas, please leave your comments by first voting OTHER on the poll and then leave your comment by clicking the comment link below this post.
To our friends in Fresno (@ the Newman Center), you built that beautiful multi-purpose building on the campus there. I would love to hear your comments. Please feel free to vote and add your comments.
Thanks to all of the committee who were able to attend the meeting and thanks in advance for all of YOUR ideas and thoughts. Your contribution will be very important in the months (and years) to come.

I think you should call our new parish SEAS (St. Elizabeth Ann Seton) Catholic Church. I think it's cute! Congrats on the 1000-hit mark!!! Thanks for doing this blog. Keep up the good work!
I think in 20 yrs., I'd like to have all of these things if there is money and space for it all.
I think all of those items are important. The courtyard with trees should start now so the trees have time to grow tall and shady. :-)
The St. Elizabeth Ann Seton church in Irvine is called SEAS. It sure is a lot quicker to say!!

Hello, I agree that SEAS is an easier way to say "St.Elizabeth Ann Seton." To make it easier, I have been saying St. Elizabeth's:).
It's awesome to vote here in Fresno! I like to see the percentages but some oof them were half cut out at the top oof the list. Kudos for all the blogwork and the 1k hits.
SEAS should be a "city on a hill" modeling service and stewardship: day care, school, library, green buildings, drought tolerant landscaping - and plenty of sidewalks and a bike rack for those of us who walk/bike to mass.
