Parish Needs

Parish Hall

The roof on the Hall is past its useful life expectancy. From time to time, we experience leaks. Up until now we have made do by patching up sections. We can no longer put off the inevitable. We will replace the roof which will protect the buildings from further damage and ensure a safe environment around our Church. We will also perform other general maintenance, repairs and improvements of the hall to continue to foster a welcoming space for our community.

School

The roof of the school is also past its life expectancy. We will replace the roof to prevent further damage to the buildings and ensure a safe environment in the school. The windows in the school have become a safety issue. We will replace the pop-out screens with more secure windows, that will also provide much needed insulation for the school. We will continue to work on general repairs and improvements in the school to enhance the learning environment.

Current Renovations

Our Dominican Sisters serve our community through their work, presence and prayer. Their convent home across from our parish has been in use since 1965 and is in great need of repairs, especially the pipes and the roof of the garage. Proceeds from the campaign will be used to completely redo the plumbing in the convent and bring it up to current construction standards. We will also install a new roof and support beams on the convent garage as well as other general maintenance, repairs and improvements. This will ensure a better home for our Sisters and support them in their ministry.

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.
