~ From the Desk of Father John ~
Dear friends in the Lord:
At their funeral Mass, the family of Noel Peart chose as the first
reading Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians: “Although our outer
self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.”
That is the way of all matter: it gradually deteriorates. It is God’s
plan that while it deteriorates, our spirit grows stronger. Good news
for us who are retirees!
What is true of our bodies is also true of our buildings.
They are at an age where the deterioration needs to be
repaired. You have seen gradual improvements of our
sanctuary, our social hall, our classrooms, and our rectory.
Usually I have told you what was happening and why it
was happening.
Here is a report of the last ten months’ activities: We
remodeled the kitchen ($40,000), installed energy efficient
doors in the RE wing ($13,600), tuck pointed the leaking
bricks and mortar in all three buildings ($40,000), replaced
the 35 year old carpet in the rectory ($10,000), and the
Rose window detail of
leaking sylight in the rectory($800). In the next year we
the Blessed Virgin...
must replace the cracked pipe in our sewer line from the
RE wing lavatories ($17,000) and calk the repaired safety glass over our rose window and
the one in the choir loft ($3,000).
If you are adding, that comes to $124,000. Where did we get this money? From you! A
small part of the kitchen remodel came from the Ladies Guild, who will be contributing
more to that in the future. Most of it comes from savings and bequests received over
the past twenty years, including the last six years of my time here. Like any prudent
householder, we have to plan for this deterioration as part of our annual budgeting,
which you meet through
stewardship.
And so I thank you. But all of us
must be grateful to God, who has
made it all possible. Think about
that, and praise and thank Him!
In Christ, Fr. John
Our beautiful parish,
St. Mary Star of the Sea....
