Dear Fellow Parishioners, Throughout the pandemic, our Pastoral Planning Team (PPT) has been meeting on Zoom and working diligently in spite of many unknowns to keep our physical plant and our spiritual reality moving forward. You are welcome to read the minutes of our meetings, located on our website under Our Parish and Parish Planning Team, but at this time I want to bring several items to your attention. On our website is a summary of the most recent parish survey. I wish to thank everyone who took the time to complete the survey. This information is invaluable. We signed a contract with Team Solar on December 31, 2019. Everything has been on hold due to the pandemic. We are evaluating our options at this point and will keep you posted on a re-established contract. Stay-tuned! We have an Adult-at large 3-year position on the PPT to fill, and two Youth-at-large one-year positions. Sheets for nomination will be in the pews, at the doors of the church and on the parish website. You are welcome to self-nominate. If you wish to nominate someone, please ask the person if they are interested and willing to serve. Nominations are accepted till August 15th. We are calling on all of the community to assist us in reaching our Legacy of Hope Target $345,199.00. To date we have $215,600.00 pledged which is 62%.
I wish to thank all parishioners who have continued to support our community financially and the many parishioners who have been helping with landscaping, cleaning the outdoor statues, displaying the 4 evangelists glass plates, sharing jigsaw puzzles and books, continuing to read, bring communion, usher, and greet during these months of the pandemic. We are going to continue the “wellness calling” that began when we could no longer assemble and expand that so that we are keeping in touch with all on the faith journey. We will be looking for more help with that. Fr. Bill
