Message from Monsignor on Successful Renovation of the Church

Dear Parish Family,
 
The response of the parishioners to the interior and exterior renovations of the church has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic.  It is truly an honor to be a part of such a generous and committed parish. The changes to the exterior are simple yet transforming and complement the elegant renovations already made to the church interior.

When we look upon the great cathedrals of Europe, like St. Peter’s in Rome or Notre Dame in Paris, we can easily forget that they were built by donations, both large and small, from the people who would worship there.  Our renovation goals may not be quite as grand as these magnificent structures, but our intent is ultimately the same, which is to build a welcoming, reverent, sacred, and beautiful place to offer our prayers and to worship God.

I invite you to share in these worthy goals. For that reason we are offering an array of sponsorship options, both large and small. We want everyone in our parish family to feel like they can participate in this important work. Please see our Memorial Gift Giving Booklet for details. Together, we can build something beautiful for God and for our children.
 
You may choose to sponsor simply as a gift from your family to the parish, or you may choose to memorialize a loved one or a special event. Some reasons for a memorial gift might include:

• Remembering a deceased loved one
• Celebrating a wedding or a wedding anniversary
• Giving a gift in gratitude
• Honoring someone on a special birthday: birth, 50th, 80th

In recognition of your thoughtful generosity, your memorial will be perpetually remembered on a permanent display in the Church Narthex.

On behalf of both the parish family and future generations, I thank you in advance for your participation in this Memorial Giving endeavor.

God bless you.
Monsignor Francis W. Beach
