We once heard a man of wealth explain his generosity. Simply stated, he said, "I was once reminded by a priest that it wasn't really mine to keep." In a moment of humility and wisdom, he acknowledged that the gifts he had were given to him by God, and in thanksgiving, he returned a portion to support the work of the church.We each have been given gifts by our God. In thanksgiving, we must consider how we can use those gifts to "repay the good done for us."In considering the many areas of need in our Parish, remember this: By supporting the work of our Parish, we help spread the Word of God, we tend to the poor and helpless, we raise up children in the ways of the Lord. We do His work. Look to the deeper meaning of your gifts. And thank God.

We are now able to focus on restoring and maintaining our beautiful facilities. Our Building and Grounds Commission has compiled a list of projects that will need attention in the near future. They are working to prioritize that list before it is presented to the parish. A few items include restoring the Communion rail at Blessed Sacrament, restoring & repairing stained glass windows at both churches, refinishing the pews and redoing the floor at Blessed Sacrament, painting, new windows, doors, gutters, cleaning, restoration and water proofing of the brick, ramp replacement at Immaculate Conception...and the list goes on. Funds given to this account will be restricted for use only with our Church Restoration Projects.
