Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
October 15, 2017
COME TO THE
FEAST
WE HAVE MADE THE MOVE!
I t’s been one month since we closed
the Church and made the move to
the Gym. The entire Church and
School staff should be recognized
for their hard work in organizing and
implementing an excellent plan to make
the move as seamless as possible.
Immediately after closing the Church on
September 17th, work on the sanctuary
began to prepare the space for abatement
and construction.
This work has included:
Removal of pews and altars Removal of art work, marble
and stained glass for storage and
reuse Applying plywood protection
to the altar area and the Resurrec-
tion Stained Glass

STATUS OF THE CAMPAIGN
Our current fundraising re-
mains at $7.8M in pledges of which
$5.4M has been collected towards
our original goal of $12.1M. The Archdiocese has approved
our request for a short-term con-
struction loan and permanent fi-
nancing if needed. We expect to have a final con-
tract in place in the next couple of
weeks with Westfall Constructors,
the general contractor.
