Parish Needs

Church Pews & Kneelers

Church Pews & Kneelers were second generation since the founding of the church in 1927. It was probably changed in the late 70’s or early 80’s when the main altar was renovated during the term of Fr. Earl Walker. Church pews and kneelers get used a lot and are beginning to show their age. Many of the pews are cracking, and several kneelers are broken. We will refurbish the pews and fix the kneelers (or install new pews and kneelers) to provide a more comfortable worship for all.

Parish Office & Rectory Piping & Air/Heating

Some galvanized piping reportedly still remains in the Parish Offices and Rectory Dwellings. This should be replaced with copper piping. Select heating and cooling units and water heater are operating; however, the condensers will exceed the remaining useful life and replacement is anticipated during the term.

Sound System

During Mass we celebrate the Liturgy of the Word, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Sometimes is it difficult to hear either part of the Mass due to the inferior quality of our sound system. Church Sound System are operating. The equipment was purchased in 2010 and sound quality is very poor. We will install a new sound system to improve the quality of sound during Mass. The microphones on the altar and music area will also be updated. Replacement for a better system will be required during the term.

A Bold Plan of Renewal

We — the Catholic faithful — are the agents of renewal for Church and society. I am grateful for this opportunity to walk alongside clergy and parishioners in strengthening our parishes and ministries, the heart of our Archdiocese.
