Below you will find our Capital Campaign updates. There you will see examples of why I am asking your support for the renovation/repair of the parish buildings. We can grow used to “working around” problems and pretending that they are not going to get any worse. But those of us who have to take care of houses or cars (and even more basically, our bodies!) know this approach is an unwise path to take. All of us use our buildings; all of us need to be part of caring for them. I urge you to find out more about what needs to be taken care of and how we can accomplish that goal together by coming to one of the gatherings being offered over the next week and a half.
We have reached out to All registered households to help accomplish the work detailed to the right. You can see all the work necessary for the continued use and efficient operation of our 60 year old plant, designed as a school auditorium and cafeteria, not the Church and meetings space we use it for. We will only be successful with everyone’s support.
Updates
So Close & Yet So Far!
