Building Committee Update - May 17
Have you ever heard the saying, "A church is a lighthouse, a beacon for those searching for God"?
Currently, we are a dimly lit beacon that is only
partially visible three hours per week. Once the last car leaves the parking lot after the 10:30 mass, the church disappears, and the building returns to it's true purpose. We effectively have little presence in our Catholic community. How many lives have been changed, by those searching, seeing the beacon, and walking into a welcoming church? None of these
decisions to enter are scheduled, they are decisions made by hearts during a fleeting moment - sometimes, a now or never decision. A church is not just a place to attend mass, it means so much more. It is a light, a beacon in the community for some, who have been fervently searching. May we do all we can to build a church where their search can end and begin anew.
You can donate to the Building Fund ONLINE, as well as by “Tap” at mass.
Pledge cards are available at all masses.

Beware of scam
Please be vigilant: Our bishops, priests, deacons, parish staff and religious do not request gift cards or cash through emails or texts. If you receive such requests, they are highly likely to be a scam. Protect yourself by ignoring these messages, and do not respond. For the safety of our community, report any suspicious activities to the parish office. Your awareness and action can help prevent these scams from spreading.
