Parish announcements this week

An extra thanks for all the parishioners who baked those excellent deserts for the event. (A few waistlines testify to how good everything was.)

An event of this nature, with the participation of so many individuals is part of what this Parish is all about. Working together and enjoying each others company on a beautiful day with good food and music.

Blessings, Father Iura

8. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: We are in the process of cleaning, painting and updating the interiors of the church hall and later the Church. Right now we would appreciate volunteers to help with cleaning and painting the walls and rooms in the church hall basement. Work crews are being scheduled. Please contact Father Iura with your availability. Your efforts (elbow equity) into this project will save the Parish significant amounts of money, improve the appearance of the buildings and go towards protecting our assets for future generations.

9. ROOF REPAIR UPDATE: A new roof has been installed over the large kitchen. The leaks have been repaired and a new flashing has been installed.  The leaks in the long narrow kitchen have been sealed and the flashing has been renewed. The damaged ceiling tiles in the long kitchen are in the process of being replaced. A new roof has been installed on the Parish garage with new flashing.
