In other words, we are looking at a bill of up to $800, to complete all the projects. If we break it down over three years and break it down even further $270,00.00 a year. Now divide it by the number of families in the parish for example 200 families this would cost them $1, a year. Over 12 months this would be a cost of $80 dollars a month or $20.00 a week. By the end of April 2014 we should have a clear way to proceed with this. Capital Campaign
