Yet More Progress!

As you can see, there has been great progress on the renovation of the parish garage that began this month. The building will have two stories, and will serve as a parish center for groups and meetings. There will also be ample room to house Living Waters Therapeutic Catholic Counseling Center as a tenant, which will generate revenue for the parish. The work is due for completion sometime in June, weather and unforeseen circumstances permitting, with a dedication planned for the space, along with acknowledgement of all donors.
Plenty of time, talent, and treasure have been expended on the project, with all permits and approvals in place. Donations continue to come in, and can be made either by dropping by the rectory, placing in the collection basket, or visiting the parish website and clicking the “Donate” link. All contributions are gratefully accepted, and will be acknowledged once the work is finished.
Please check the church vestibule in the coming weeks for an artist’s rendering on display, so everyone can see how the building will look when completed.
Toward a Pro-Life Future in the Empire State
Humanity’s salvation history was forever changed when a poor, devout Jewish girl from Galilee affirmatively said yes to life and set in motion the birth, ministry, sacrificial death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Mary’s fiat (“Thy will be done.”) was a gift of love to humanity, given freely in spite of her inability to know all that would entail, but with more faith in the Lord than fear of the unknown.
Our First Communion
Our First Holy Communion students celebrated their first Eucharist on Saturday, May 7, with so many happy families and neighbors as witnesses.
