Church History
GROUP WORKING TO RECORD RESURRECTION HISTORY
Ron McIntire heading team
 
Have you ever wondered about the story of our parish stained class windows?, ...or where the Baptismal Font came from?, ...or wanted to know the stories about how our church began?
 
Ron McIntire is heading up a team of folks to collect, preserve and archive our church history. He has created a simple on-line program where any member can post pictures, audio files, stories and other meaningful items that can be preserved for our parish in the years to come
 
Look for more information to come about how to participate in collecting historical information. If you are interested in helping this team, please contact Fr. David or Ron McIntire.
