St. Margaret's Elevator Fund - Information Page

St. Margaret's Parish is currently trying to raise funds through our Elevator Project Fundraiser so we can add an elevator on the first floor of our Parish,
in order to make the Parish Hall more accessible to folks who are unable to use the stairs easily, safely, or have mobility limitations. 
The fundraising goal to be able to accomplish this mission is $250,000

We Need Your Help

If you're interested in helping St. Margaret's acheive this goal of making our Parish more acessible for all, there are several ways you can support our fundraising initiative:

1) Spread the message: You can tell your friends, family, and co-workers about this cause and encourage them to donate, and/or share it with others.
We will have brochures and instructional posters containing ways you can donate handed out at every weekend Mass, and visible in our Parish office.
Many of these infographics will also be available through our Facebook page here

2) Donations: Donations are by far the best way to help us acheive our $250,000 goal, and there are multiple ways you can donate:

or by handing the envelope to Father Roy or Deacon Tim directly after/before Mass, or Juanita in the Parish Office during regular office hours.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: When will work begin?
A: When sufficient funds have been raised to pay for it.

Q: How was this plan arrived at?
A: A local engineering firm experienced in these types of projects was commissioned to do a Feasibility Study to determine the best location for an elevator
that would readily provide access to our Parish Hall for anyone experiencing limited physical mobility.  The firm conducted on-site visits and provided the best options with the related costs of completing the project.

Q: Were other types of lifts or elevators considered?
A: Yes, and several types were considered with this one being selected as  the one which would best meet our needs.
