parish center building management committee
The Parish Center Building Management Committee was formed out of discussions with the Archdiocese and with Fr. Maurice on the needs of the three distinct communities at Ste. Anne's - Cameroon, Congolese, and Filipino - whereby these communities celebrate their faith not just in attending Mass, but in coming together as a community for fellowship. Members of these communities felt they could not fully participate as a community with the Parish Center closed. The communities expressed interest in taking over management of the building, with the goal to make the necessary repairs and manage the building in a more sustainable, and hopefully profitable, way. Fr. Maurice signed a Memorandum of Understanding entrusting this governing committee with the task of repairing and running the Parish Center. This way, the burden does not fall on the ordinary expenses of the parish.
