CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

The parking lot in front of the church has been striped and the handicapped parking places are back where they should be. We did not lose any handicapped places. In fact, we gained two! Work continues along at a good pace on our new Pastoral Center. Very soon now the steps will be replaced in front of the parish center entrance. They were illegal in height so had to be replaced. The new fountain is rich in symbolism as was explained in last Sunday's announcements. The four pillars represent the four gospels, each of different lengths going in different directions to represent the different audiences for whom they were intended, watering and giving life to the four corners of the world. The source of the life-giving water, like the Holy Spirit, is evident but hidden. (Also, since there is no pond open toteh elements there is less evaporation and water use in this fountain, which also keeps our little ones from splashing in and falling into it.)
