FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK….

Dear Parishioners,

I would like to express my gratitude to all those who contributed to the Annual Cash Appeal. As of December 1st, the total was $25,196. 90. As I promised during the in-pew appeal a check for this amount was sent to the Archdiocese for payment on the principal against the loan for the church portico. Thank you for your consistent generosity.

As previously noted in the Pastor’s Desk, plans were drawn up to address the damage that constantly occurs in shrines of Saint Anthony and Saint Francis. The oval shaped parapets above these two shines, that are the source of the problems, will be removed and a continuous roof will created above these present roofs. J. R. Mason Contracting has been rewarded the contract. The work could begin any day.

Plans are being drawn up to turn the basement Men’s Room in to the Ladies’ Room. This project was part of the front portico work however the job was split for cost saving reasons. The newly renovated Ladies’ Room will have three stalls and a vanity with three sinks. What is the present Ladies’ Room will become the Men’s Room. This rest room and its anti-chamber (room off the hall before climbing the stairs) both need some work however it does involve any structural changes. Most of the work is cosmetic. “Plaster and paint to make it what it ain’t.”

We hope to accomplish this work by early spring. Again thank you for your generosity. It makes these projects possible. Sincerely yours, Sincerely yours,

Fr. Moe
