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!
