Extraordinary Needs: The parish recently purchased the house and lot adjacent to our parking lot on Main Street. The lot will expand our parking area and will be renovated this spring. After discernment of our greatest needs with the finance council, we will also begin a renovation on the house to create a gathering space for socials, faith formation, catechesis, etc. The plan is to gut the first floor to create a large gathering space, kitchen and restrooms.  The second floor will also be renovated with a smaller meeting space. We will be putting together a team this winter to begin the planning process and designs.

The Haiti Ministry Offering will make the hope of a new worship space a reality for some of the most materially poor people in the world. 100% of your gift will be given directly to the Diocese of Port-de-Paix, Haiti. Fr. Rick works directly with the Vicar General of the diocese to ensure all gifts are protected and directed to the designated project.  This has been a great relationship for 20 years, as help has been provided in the past to build churches, schools, rectories, water purification systems, and support feeding the hungry throughout the Diocese of Port-de-Paix. We hope to help them build a beautiful space for God’s Children to worship Him. The estimated cost is $107,000 for a church that will hold approximately 200 people. Thank you for your generosity in helping the people of Haiti.
