NEW HALL UPDATE
The Bishop has officially signed a resolution allowing us to begin raising funds for the construction of our new church hall. The architect’s renderings of the proposed hall are on display in the hall after Mass on Sunday. We encourage you to take a look and speak with the committee members, who will be available to answer any questions. To celebrate this milestone, One Strong is providing breakfast—so join us after Mass, enjoy a meal, and learn more about our plans! Before construction can begin, we must have one third of the cost of the project in hand and two thirds pledged. The new hall is not just an investment in brick and mortar; it is an investment in our future and the legacy we leave for generations to come. This new space will allow us to expand our ministries, support our youth, and reach out to those in need in our community. Your support and generosity will help bring this vision to life. Please prayerfully consider how you can contribute! Shelley Allen, Cara Bowling and Rachel Hopfinger will be sending out more information on the pledging process soon.
