| Dear Parishioners, The proposed new building for our Parish will provide space for programs and activities that are very much needed as we consider our present space and look to future needs. In the Educational wing of the new building, there will be an office for Religious Education (over 500 children are in this program), a teacher’s lunch room (this will free up a room in the school for counseling and small groups), a multi-purpose classroom (space is needed for science and art), and a room for Youth Ministry. In the Social/Recreational wing, there will be a hall large enough to seat 320 for dinner or to have basketball/volleyball games. This wing would have an office for a Sports Director, and stands for fans to watch games. The plans are very exciting. As I mentioned last week, the Building Committee is now studying how other parishes financed their buildings, and will soon talk to fund raisers to judge which company will best serve our parish. If you will be away during the summer, don’t forget to bring back a bulletin from the local Catholic Church. It is a great way for us to get some new ideas. Also, don’t forget to support your parish all summer. The bills don’t go away for the summer. No matter what, make sure you get some time of relaxation during these lazy days of summer. Sincerely, |
