The lettering for our new parish sign has been installed. The parish logo will be lit when the specialty cable is installed - expected by
December 15.
Phase 2 will begin when we raise the required funds (70 pavers or equivalent contributions). If in hand by mid-January, we could have our electronic billboard for Easter / Holy week - surely a terrific goal.
Sincere thanks to all who have supported this parish project.
