A note from Father David

Dear Friends,

I am excited to announce that after several months of planning, discernment, and prayer, this fall we will begin a long-awaited rejuvenation of our church interior. This renovation project will beautify our worship space and help serve the needs of our community for many years to come!

These significant upgrades include:

• New, custom-made red oak pews with comfortable kneelers, increased spacing between rows, and contoured seating surfaces. Handicap-seating areas will be designated in the front rows.

• Beautiful porcelain tile flooring installed throughout the main church and the sanctuary. Old carpeting will be removed and the sanctuary dimensions will be reconfigured to increase congregation seating.

• New sound speaker system that will provide enhanced sound quality and a much-improved aesthetical look.

We are launching a capital campaign to raise $250,000 to complete this project and I ask you to help us reach our goal. We are already off to a fantastic start having received a $75,000 gift from a generous parish family!

Gifts can be made through this link, Church Renovation Capital Campaign, check or cash. Checks can be made to the parish with ‘Church Renovation’ in the memo. Envelopes will also be available in the church. All gifts to the campaign are withheld from diocesan assessments. Any remaining funds after the project’s completion will be reserved for future capital improvements to the church.

The renovation is scheduled to begin on Monday, September 18 th . There will be no public use of the main church until the tentative reopening weekend of October 28-29 th . All daily and weekend Masses will be celebrated in the Church Hall according to our regular schedule. Stay tuned for updates through the bulletin, website, and Mass announcements.

May the Holy Spirit guide our special work so that we may glorify God and reflect the awesome mysteries we celebrate in the holy sacraments!

In Christ,

Father David Harris
