26th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Parishioners,

    We have made a lot of progress collecting pledges for the Gathering Center we are planning.  We are now $294,000.00 away from our original goal. This seems like an achievable amount.  If everyone commits to a fourth year on their pledges, we can get where we need to be.

    What would such a space for our church offer us?  It would be a place to build community. We could have a safe door for the physically challenged to enter our church.  We would have bathrooms where people in wheelchairs could enter and where babies with diapers could be changed.

     This would be a place where people could gather for large liturgical celebrations.  This would also be a spot to have fellowship afterwards.  We could have adult education opportunities as well. 

     If you have not made your pledge yet, you will soon have an opportunity. We continue to have information meetings. If you would like to attend, just give our office a call. 

     Most importantly, pray that we will succeed with our efforts.  This can help our parish grow stronger.  In 1922 we dedicated our present church building.  Wouldn’t it be nice to dedicate our new gathering space in 2022?

May Our Lady and all the Angels and Saints watch over you today.

Fr. Mark
