AUGUST 10, 2014 NOTES FROM FATHER MIKE As we move into the middle of August, we are getting closer to the beginning of school. Some college students are already packing, and within the next few weeks, we’ll all be back into the school mode! There are still a few things to finish up on before we move out of summer. We have the Parish Picnic in a couple of weeks, the annual golf outing next weekend, and a few other summer projects to finish up on, such as… The latest update on the school roof replacement project is that it’s almost done! You’ll notice that all of the scaffolding and equipment has been moved out and the roofers are putting the finishing touches on the job! Led by parishioner Dave Dubravetz, the folks from Cardinal Roofing have done great job, and even though you will most likely never actually see the roof, it looks good, and we’ll mostly notice it when it doesn’t leak! Something you will notice will be the remodeling that is being done in the lower “primary” hallway of the school, near the preschool and kindergarten rooms. (“Wingerter hall” to the folks who have been around since the early days of the parish!) The hallway has been repainted, carpeted, and decorate in an impressive way! It’s not done yet, but it will be soon, and we’ll have an “open house” so everyone can see the work! We are extremely grateful to The Eickleman’s at Ryan Carpet, to Yerman and Young Painters, and to Jay and Beth Ann Graham who made the remodeling possible with generous donations of labor, material, and much time and effort! Because of their generosity, the project is being done with little cost to the parish! We cannot thank them enough! I’ll give this “help wanted” notice a second run again this week: We have a few parishioners who are quite able to go to Mass, but are no longer able to drive and need “a lift!” If you are able to assist with this kind of ministry, please let me know! There are not a lot of these folks, and we would look to match up drivers with riders in a way that would be convenient for both! Please let me know if you might be able to help out – even occasionally – with this kind of “hospitality”! Remember that later this week will be one of the Solemnities of the Church year – the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a holy day of obligation!
