Building Committee News
Building Committee Update
Donating to the Building Fund and our future church can come in many forms. You could fill out a pledge card and donate monthly. This donation could be for any amount. You could also make a one-time donation if you were to be blessed to come into a sizeable amount of money. You could also create a fundraiser with other parishioners and friends to support the Building Fund. There is another way that you could support our fundraising - through a Legacy Gift. Legacy Gifts are given through investments and Wills. We will soon be telling you about a Legacy Giving presentation that we have set up for you to attend. Legacy Gifts are not meant to be a part of the first phase of fundraising; rather your gift may be given a few years after the church is built. This Legacy Gift could be a donation to finish the interior of the Church Hall, or it could be dedicated to bringing down the debt from a church mortgage. Hospital fundraisers have included Legacy Gifts for many years.
There are many ways for each of us to donate to the Building Fund. The sooner we start, the sooner we can worship in our beautiful new church.
For more information, contact any of the members of the Building Committee.

Entering the Year of St. Francis
|
From Jan 10, 2026 to Jan 10, 2027, the Church marks a special Jubilee Year of Saint Francis of Assisi on the 800th anniversary of his death. During this year, the faithful may obtain a plenary indulgence by fulfilling the usual conditions (confession, Communion, prayer for the Holy Father, detachment from sin) and engaging in acts inspired by the Franciscan spirit, such as pilgrimage, prayer, works of charity, and humble service.
This Jubilee invites not only celebration, but a deeper imitation of St. Francis through a Gospel life lived simply, faithfully, and daily.

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.
