The new iGive Project for 2025 kicks off Tuesday, December 3, 2024. For the last 4 years the plaster and paint damage behind the 2 side Altars has become increasingly an eyesore. More than a year ago, the brickwork on the 4 exterior corners of the Church were vented and re-pointed. Presently, the interior structure is being checked for any continued leakage. When we asked the painters/plasterers for an estimate for repair and repainting 18 months ago, the estimate was slightly more than $60,000! We will update you regarding the finding of the interior structural inspection when we get it. --- *Your Generosity Is Inspiring!* --- We have a duty to maintain this Church and its magnificence. It is a gleaming jewel in this Diocese which rebounds to the greater Honor & Glory of God. Blessings to you all... ------Parish Bulletin, Nov. 17, 2024.
