2025 Proposed Budget:
Cemetery Plot Proposal:
Our parish has been approached with the possibility of purchasing 42 cemetery plots in Woodlawn Cemetery. The cost of the plots is $1,500.00 each for a total purchase price of $63,000. The Mykonos society has agreed to contribute aprox. $40,000 towards the purchase which would leave All Saints with a balance of $23,000 to cover the transaction. These graves are in section 3 (see image below) adjacent to where the majority of our parishioners are buried. This is a unique opportunity for our parish that will never be available to us again.
It is proposed that All Saints Purchases these plots with the monies donated by the Mykonos Society, as well as cash on hand in the Memorial Account. Until the purchase price of the plots is recovered from the future sale of plots, proceeds will go towards replenishing the Memorial Account, then will be directed to the Endowment fund.
Finally, a committee will be formed, whose membership will be appointed by the parish council, and will report to the parish council for the administration of the cemetery plots.

Front Door Proposal:
The wooden front doors to the church are original to our structure, built in 1945. They have undergone severe degradation including warping and delamination. More importantly, the doors lack modern fire safety features such as emergency open push bars. Even worse, the doors lock with a latch on the top which could be unreachable during a fire or other emergency.
All these things considered, the parish council and building committee have done extensive research on both refurbishing and replacing the front doors. After consulting a number of contractors and installers, the building committee and parish council put it to the general assembly to replace the front doors of the church with Special-lite P19 fiberglass wood grain doors. These doors are a high quality fiberglass door built for commercial settings that come with a 10 year warranty. They match the current aesthetic of the church. Most importantly, they will be equipped with the required modern safety features.

Please note that the image of the door (with the window) will not be the style of door installed in the church, but rather a 6 panel door variety.
The total cost of the project is 40,550.08. This will be paid for out of the donation from the estate of JoAnne Honiotes, which was intended for the exterior beautification of the Church.
