Building
on the Rock of Faith |
|
| |
Heavenly
Father, we thank you for the gift of faith and your call through Baptism
to be your people, The Church.
May
all of us respond to that call with sincere love, sacrifice and
dedication. In building the new church, let your Holy Spirit guide our
hearts and hands, our minds and tongues so that we may grow in unity as
your people, free of all discord.
As
we progress from one phase of building to another, may we give You,
Heavenly Father, honor, glory, and praise through Jesus Christ, your son,
in the power of the Holy Spirit, now and forever. AMEN |

We continue to pray The
Rock of Faith Prayer each day at Mass & I ask you to include the
project in your prayers also.

On January 21, 2007
parishioners were invited to place a rock under the area of the Sanctuary
where the Altar will be in the new Church. Parishioners brought small
rocks to Mass that weekend & after Mass we put them in place. When all
the rocks were in place after each Mass we concluded with a short prayer
service. Parishioners were given a card to put their name and a short note
stating any significant information on the rock. Such as, where it came
from or who gave it to them. |

THE NEW PARKING LOT
The progress on the new Church is visible in the near
completion of the brick on the outside & the continuing work on the
inside. The sheetrock is being put on the ceiling & walls. Soon the
scaffolding will be removed. We have prayed for rain & thanks be to
God for it. But it has held up the completion of the parking lot. I know
it has been difficult for many of you. Thank you for your patience
throughout the whole project. We will all be happy when the mud and dust
is gone and we have convenient parking for our automobiles.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU
Your response has been tremendous to the invitation to
the “Memorial Phase” of the new Church. The generosity of parishioners
towards the whole construction project has been humbling, encouraging and
a great expression of your Catholic faith. May God bless your generous
spirit in abundance.
We will compile a book that
will contain all the names of people who have pledged to the Capital
Campaign and the “memorials” as well as those who contributed their
time & talent through the Building Committee, Decorating Committee
etc. etc. So many have been so supportive and we want all to be remembered
with gratitude in an appropriate manner. My deep thanks to you all.

"One of the most significant and
formative experiences in the life of a parish community is the process
of building or renovating a church. As part of that process, parish
members are called upon to study the Church's teaching and liturgical
theology and to reflect upon their personal pieties, their individual
tastes, and the parish history. By bringing together these personal and
ecclesial elements in faith and in charity, parishioners help to build a
new structure and to renew their parish
community."
