We can officially announce that, through combined pledges and monetary contributions, we have collected over half of the funds needed for our projects! 
 
This comes at a very fortunate time, as this Saturday, June 25th, is the feast day of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  What a great way to honor our Blessed Mother!  I would like to thank everyone for your prayers and contributions to this campaign.  It is very exciting to see how far we have come!
 
As for the next steps – we are currently looking into contacting our architect, and putting together a process to seek out contractors.  This will allow us to primarily make plans for the completion of our basement, but also to look into plans for the rectory. 
           
After contacting the architect, we will then begin making more solidified plans regarding the lights, speakers, and painting of the church.
           
Please keep checking the bulletin and the website for further updates.  Also, we will continue to try to e-mail “flocknotes” as things progress. 
           
There are still some dollar-for-dollar matching funds available in the month of June for those who would still like to contribute.  Thank you all again for your support, your prayers, and your contributions!
