Church Building Update: Stained Glass Window Repairs
The long-awaited repair work on our church windows is moving ahead!
As you may have noticed, scaffolding has been installed both on the exterior of the church's eastern wall and inside the Choir Loft. This marks the initial preparation phase for the essential maintenance and repair of our beautiful stained-glass windows.
- Current Status: Scaffolding is in place.
- Next Steps: Details regarding the exact start date of the intensive repair work and any potential temporary impact on daily services or Mass times will be shared here in the coming months.
We appreciate your patience and look forward to the completion of this vital restoration project.

Ministry Commitment for 2026
The life of our parish depends on the generous stewardship of your time and talent. As we look ahead to 2026, we are once again asking every parishioner to prayerfully consider how God is calling them to serve our community.
Over the next few weeks, we invite you to commit to ministry by either:
- Reaffirming your current commitment to your existing ministry.
- Exploring a new ministry that sparks your passion.
- Doing both!
What is your call for 2026?
Whether it's reading Scripture, hospitality, visiting the sick, or helping with the website, your involvement makes a tangible difference.
Next Steps & Details:
Full information regarding available ministries and the sign-up process is published in the current bulletin and is also available here.
