Repair Work

The outside steps on the east side of the church are finished, however, they cannot be used until the railing is up. The lawn work will hopefully be done as soon as the weather cooperates with the landscapers.

Once again we are asking those who have not contributed to the cost of replacing the roof to please donate something. All the little amounts of money are accumulating and becoming a godsend in helping to payoff the debt. So even if you can't pay much, please pay something. And if you have already bought a shingle or two, could you please buy another one or two. We still have a debt of $68,717.00

Festival Raffle Tickets - The parish Fall Festival is the weekend of October 2-3, just shy of 2 months away. Please sell your raffle tickets and return them to the parish center or put them in the Sunday collection basket. The raffle tickets are in the envelopes in back of church, so if you haven't picked yours up, please do so soon. We are trying to save on postage, so pick them up as soon as possible.

Silent Auction - Also in the envelopes in the back of church are silent auction donation forms. If you can donate an item for the auction, please fill out the form soon and return it to the parish center. If you don't have a form and still have something to donate, you can drop your donation at the parish center or give us a call.
