I am happy to report that 99.9% of the work to repaint the church narthex and church interior, install a new fence along the FMG middle school and St. James properties, and upgrade the campus exterior lighting is completed! And perhaps the cherry-on-top is that about 99.9% of the cost for these projects were funded by grant money!!!

I am grateful to the parishioners who helped secure the grant moneys, picked the paint colors, chose the fence design, and worked on the exterior lighting scheme for your generous gift of time and talent. I speak for the parishioners in the pews in offering a big THANK YOU to the group of professional and skillful volunteers who worked with me and the parish staff in making these recent renovations and improvements possible.

Below are some pictures of the before and after. I sincerely hope that you are pleased with the outcome.

Quote of the Week

What goes into a person can defile a person. Ask a drug addict or an alcoholic. But Jesus’ diagnosis is that there’s a deeper problem that comes from within. Spiritual impurity or moral defilement starts on the inside. It arises from the heart.
