UPDATE ON THE PARISH MAINTENANCE PROJECTS

Dear Parish Family,

     As we greet a brand new year, I want first and foremost to thank all of you who have so generously donated towards the parish maintenance projects.  As it is highlighted below, we have already exceeded our goal for the original projects as outlined in the letter back in November.  A link to that original letter can be found below as well.  May the Lord continue to bless us with all that we need to serve Him and maintain the beautiful parish properties He has given us.

     To date, we have completed the following projects.  Be sure to click on the link to see the progress of the work thus far:

• Minor structural repair of the Church Steeple, its fascia boards, and slate tiles
• Miscellaneous slate tile repair of the Church roof proper and the rectory, including installation of flashing on the right side of the Church to ensure  prevention of water damage to the interior wall of the Church
• Replacement of the rectory dormer roof on the back of the buidling
• Replacement of the water saturated modbit flat roof over the rectory side wing with new EDPM roofing system
• Removal of old handicapped ramp at St. Joachim Mission
• Installation of new aluminum ADA compliant handicapped ramp at St. Joachim Mission

     The last two projects which will begin in the spring and as outlined last November include the replacement of the roof at Assumption Hall along with the repair of its fascia boards and installation of a new gutter system and the lighting of the Church Steeple along with the repair of the spot lights facing the front of the Church and the lighting of the parish sign.

     Again, none of this would be possible without your generosity and the great pride which you take in our parish and its historically rich facilities.  May the Lord richly reward and bless you for all that you do for Him.

In Jesus and Mary,

Fr. Michael
