Thank you for your generosity during our 2022 iGiveCatholic campaign on Giving Tuesday!  Your generous gifts totaled over $135,000!!!  Because of you, we are able to pursue the following updates to our security and technology:

• Projection technology in Adult Education Room - The upgrades are completed and operational.  Training for volunteers will be scheduled once procedures are documented.
• Server - Migration to a serverless environment is completed.  This environment will improve reliability and business continuity.  It also eliminates the need to purchase a new server every 4-5 years.  
• Audio and visual - Initial design work was completed for various areas of the facility including the sanctuary, overflow room, parish hall and classrooms.  The sanctuary, narthex, and overflow room will be our next priority.  The detailed design for these areas has been submitted to the diocese for approval. Once approved, equipment will be ordered and electrical and cabling work will be scheduled. 
• Hearing-impaired system in the sanctuary - This is included with the audio and visual design for the sanctuary noted above.
• Live-streaming -  Enhancements are included with the audio and visual design for the sanctuary noted above.
• Security - Assessments have been conducted with three security companies to review facility access control, automated doors, and camera needs.  We have received two proposals and are awaiting a third.  Once a decision is made, a contract will be  prepared.  The first phase will likely only include electronic access to the primary exterior doors and an intercom for access to the door by the office.

Completed projects:

• Computer software upgrades
• Computer security enhancements
• Cabling upgrades, repairs for preschool internet access, and installation of a locked cabinet for technology equipment
• Addition of security cameras by the chapel
• Replacement of phone system
• Replacement of security alarm system

Thank you for sharing your gifts with our MBS family!
