We are now at the half-way point in the renovation of our beloved church and in five months we will be able to dedicate our beautiful House of God! The time is flying by and before we know it, we will again be offering the Holy Mass in our noble new church.

It is important that you have the opportunity to see how our church is going to look when complete. To help you to do this, our architect, Adam Hermanson, has prepared a series of display boards that have exterior and interior views of the church, the altar area and choir loft. Drawings of the Altar, Tabernacle area, Baptismal Font and Ambo will also be included along with samples of the marbles, tile, wood and paint colors that will be used throughout the church.

This impressive display is in the entrance to the Fr. Puhl Center and I invite you to spend some time studying the presentation. Please pay special attention to the marble Altar, Tabernacle area and Baptismal Font that will be carved in Italy and will be especially beautiful. I am looking for families to help sponsor the cost of these special sacred objects. They are quite expensive, but if ten families take it into their hearts to sponsor each piece as a gift to the parish, then many hands will make them affordable. Talk to Fr. Hilton if you would like more information.

Next weekend, October 31-November 1, we will have our long-awaited church open house. You will have an opportunity to walk into the church and see the progress that has been made so far and get a better idea of how the church will look when complete. We will have the open house after all of the Masses next weekend

Thank you to our many parishioners whose generosity has made all of this possible, God Bless You!
