Dear Parishioners,

Thank you for your ongoing support this past year. I wanted to let you know that we are moving forward with our capital improvements of the school lunch room and kitchen as well as the gym/parish center kitchen. These substantial improvements will enhance not only our school environment but will enable us to have more adult gatherings in a clean and inviting space. Shortly, you will be receiving in the mail more details regarding this and an invitation to offer your financial support. Please be on the lookout for it.

In addition to these capital improvements, we have been working to clean, repair and refresh our entire complex. Last summer, we cut down scrub trees, painted the school hallways, replaced obsolete fire exit signs, repaired air conditioning/heating units in the rectory, gym, and church, and addressed plumbing issues in the school and church buildings.

All the lawnmowers needed servicing and the parish truck needed brakes, front-end work, and a muffler.

We installed LED light bulbs to replace the inefficient light bulbs in the school and gym ceilings.

All the campus roofs were inspected and $10,000.00 worth of repairs were made. The downspouts around the campus were cleaned of impacted dirt and repaired to ensure proper drainage.

Much of the above is not too glamorous, but added together makes our buildings and campus more inviting and efficient.

Thanks again for your ongoing support of St. Patricia Parish and School.
