Welcome!

Welcome to St. Edna's On-Line Journal!  The purpose of this site is to act as a conduit for the flow of information on the progress of the parish's "Vision for the Future."  The road is long and the hurdles many on the path to implementation.  Engaging all of our parishioners through communication is step one. 

Those individuals who attended our Town Hall Meetings and registered their email addresses will receive notification every time a new post is listed.  In the weeks and months to come, this journal will report on what is happening and in some cases what is not happening.  But whatever the case, you will be kept up-to-date and informed.

The next post will recap the Town Hall Meetings, listing some of the comments and concerns submitted by those in attendance.  After the recap posting we will begin reporting on the various start-up tasks necessary before we can begin our journey. 

First and foremost we will need formal approval from the Archdiocese on St. Edna's Vision for the Future.  Once that is accomplished the building renderings must be transferred into usable architectural drawings which can be brought to the Village of Arlington Heights for approval and permits.  We know this may take more time than we would like, but everyone will be kept up-to-date each step of the way.

At the same time these important tasks are taking place, a Building Comittee needs to be formed and interviews need to take place for the company the parish will use to facilitate our Capital Campaign.  Our intention is to keep the information interesting in content and complete in the explanation.  We thank you for your support and ask for your prayers as we begin.
