As you might imagine, every time you touch something 100 years old, you find new situations. No show-stoppers. Just more parts needed, and a little cement work. The work is progressing nicely and the repaired doors are working perfectly. Thanks to all who contributed financially to the repairs.
On June 18, the Vatican issued, “Praised Be: On the Care of Our Common Home” (Laudato si). In this encyclical, Pope Francis calls us to save God’s creation and to protect the poor who are often those most harmed by ecological destruction.
As of this past Sunday, June 15th, we have made significant progress against our "Wish List". Special thanks to those selfless, generous parishioners who have made this progress. There are many more items to donate in memory of your loved ones! Please see Fr. Kearney for more information.
