GRANT THE DREAM: We thank you for your
generous response to the Grant the Dream request.
Last week, we have begun the reroofing of the parish
center, first project on the list. So far, we have raised
$167,000 toward our goal of $300,000.
We are in process of getting estimates for a new
heating system in the parish center and re-zoning for
better energy efficiency. We also learned that the air
conditioner in the parish center can no longer be
serviced and needs to be replaced. The boiler at
Immaculate Conception chapel also needs to be
replaced before the winter season. Thank you for
your support and contributions.
Fr. William
