UPDATE

CONSTRUCTION on the new Family Pastoral Center continues. This week the slab was poured and has to “cure” for a few days before other work can commence. Next week we’ll begin to see framing go up. The church entryway has been completed and the pavers extend across to the parking lot to where the new parking lot will be. Yes, there will be drive through areas over the walkway. They’re just hard to distinguish because the parking lots are not yet finished. The new lights will be installed on the parking lot very shortly and work on the parking area in front of the rectory will begin soon. The handicapped spaces will be removed but we will put more, temporary handicapped spaces on the west side of the church.

BUILDING FUND PLEDGES continue to come in and we are entering the last of the initial pledge period. Many have already paid their pledges in full and others are near the end. If you made a pledge for the new building (which contains new offices, a smaller parish hall, a youth center/offices, and meeting/classrooms) we urge you – if you are able – to continue to pay on it until your pledge is met. If everyone pays the pledge chance are very good that we can open our new building debt free!

WHAT BECOMES OF THE CURRENT OFFICES when the new building is opened? The current parish offices will become the Religious Education Center. The present meeting rooms will all be refurnished with kidling-sized tables and chairs to accommodate our young parishioners for their classes. This way we can keep our religious education program contained in one facility.
