November 16, 2021Dear Parishioners,
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen activity in Marian Hall, but I am pleased to announce that the renovation is finally behind us, and we can begin having activities again in the hall. After having to take everything out of this area and put it into storage, we are still sorting through and putting everything back on the shelves. Of course, there’s always a learning curve too. We need to get used to the new appliances and how they work. This project took a lot longer than I expected, mostly due to supply delays (and who isn’t familiar with things being out of stock during these times). For the most part, we were able to stay within our donation budget for this project. Yet, there were still a few unexpected things we needed to upgrade once we got into the project. We will have an update on what was spent in our six month financial report, which will come out in January.
Thanks to everyone who joined us last weekend for an 80th birthday celebration for Fr. Bill and to re-open Marian Hall. A few of Fr. Bill’s family members were even able to join us. As for Coffee and Donuts, we will continue to offer this every other week (but you won’t have to pick up your donuts outside and go). We appreciate all our volunteers who made it possible for us the past few months to have “Donuts to go.”
Thanks for reading!
Fr. Mark
