What is the entity's public purpose, sought to be achieved through the use of state monies?
          St. Joseph Catholic Church has been ministering to the spiritual needs of Parks since 1938. There are about 450 Catholics who attend Sunday Mass in Parks but the Village of Parks has about 700 residents. The Catholic Church is missionary in character and hopes to bring all the villagers of Parks into a relationship with our Lord and Savior with enhancements to our facilities that this grant will serve to fund

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          Our program is striving to stay faithful to what Jesus asked us to do in
offering communion with Him in the Eucharist. "Do this in memory of Me." (Lk 22:19, 1 Cor 11:24) We are seeking help to complete our funding needed to build a new space to adore Jesus present in the Eucharist, to provide a more fitting space to welcome engaged couples to be married in covenant with the Lord, to create facilities that would encourage people who need more convenient access to restrooms to freely worship with the community at Mass, a larger gathering space before and after times of worship, and a more private area to encounter Jesus' mercy in the confessional.`

What is the proposed length of time estimated by the entity to accomplish the purpose?
           1-2 years
