We offer a sincere thank you to all those who donated to the #iGiveCatholic Giving Tuesday program to support our kitchen renovation project. Due to your generosity, we raised a total of ~$8,675! While this is about half of our intended goal to raise $20,000, your contributions will enable us to purchase a commercial dishwasher and enable other improvements to be made. This will result in a much better functioning kitchen for parish use as well as renting out the Parish Hall for community events. We will continue to take donations towards completion of the project. Again, thank you for your generosity!

In order to provide more parishioners to participate in our Feasibility Study Greater Mission has posted an online survey that can be accessed using this link or QR code. The link and QR code are also on the parish website.  Include with the survey are the case statement (projects to be funded) and a gift plan, which shows a road map of how we might raise the funds.  The survey will be live for ONE WEEK ONLY–from Sunday, December 8^th to Sunday, December 15^th.  After the 15^th the results will be tabulated and included as part of the study report.  ALL responses are confidential and will only be seen and tabulated by Greater Mission.  We thank you for your participation!
