Message from our Pastor

For years, the parish has struggled with what to do about our aging Parish Hall and Annex.  They are the original church and original school, the beginning of our parish life and much-loved buildings.  The memories run deep and will always be part of who we are.  

Our heavenly Father blessed us with founding families whose insight and love built those original buildings. They brought our Catholic faith to many generations of parishioners.  Many of us benefited from the efforts of those first families.  Unfortunately, the original buildings are no longer viable as instruments of faith or community or service.  However, we have the opportunity to do for the future what those families did for previous generations and for us. 

I am excited to be part of ANEW, our Capital Campaign to fund a new Parish Hall and Annex, and have prayed many hours over what course we should take.  I believe we are on the right path - that now is the time to take the project on.  However, I cannot do it without you.  We will need to work as one - to walk this path together. 

I am committed to our success and hope you are as well.  Now I ask you to pray for our project and I invite you to consider how you can best support it.  This is a wonderful parish and faith community and I assure you I am delighted to be your pastor.  After prayerful consideration, I ask that you do whatever you can to make our campaign succeed. 

Welcome to ANEW and thank you in advance for your personal support of me and our project.
