Fr. Tom’s Letters

Each week Fr. Tom writes a letter to parishioners in our bulletin. Every letter is comprehensive, including current information about the Parish, an explanation of Scripture for that Sunday, and an invitation to become more engaged in the life of the parish.

Dear Parishioners,

I am very happy to report to you that the roof/air conditioning project continues to progress. The project has been a little more complex and a lot more stressful than anticipated. The weight of the air conditioning units, the use of cranes to lift them, the loud use of machinery have all contributed to the complexity of scheduling and planning. Keeping the church available for funerals and weddings, clearing cars in the parking lots, and maintaining a safe perimeter have required daily monitoring and adjustments. We remain confident that all will be complete by July 1, except the painting of the ceiling which will seem very easy compared to the roof.

Parishioners continue to be generous with making contributions for the project. The total cost for the project is $1,000,000. We will use already existing parish funds to supplement the contributions that we raise for the project. We will cease looking for further contributions once the project and painting is complete. Parishioner generosity has been great as is always the case and we are blessed to cover the cost of this project with your contributions and existing parish funds. Thank you very much.

Fr. Tom
