Dear Friends and Parishioners,
This week has been very busy at Our Lady's Parish with lots of work done on our church complex roof. The gables around the dome have had their shingles removed and have received a first coating of insulation. The chapel also had its shingles removed and received a first coating of insulation. They have begun working on the narthex roof and have found substantial wood damage which is receiving needed carpentry repairs.
The dome itself has received the second layer of foam insulation and aesthetic enhancement, bringing it closer to its renewed beautiful state.
Our “Raise the Roof “ fundraiser was established to raise $200,000 to help offset the cost not covered by our insurance. We are currently at $45,316 or 22.66% of our goal.
Together, through your generosity, we change lives, do God’s work and preserve the beauty of Our Lady’s Parish. Let us "raise our hands to this good work… ". Make a gift today!
Chorbishop Don J. Sawyer, D. Min.
