    ​Let there be Light: Lighting Project for Church Worship Space

    Here are the top 5 things to know this week about our latest capital improvement project!
    1. The Project has Begun! The work to upgrade the lighting in the church worship space has begun. The plan involves replacing all light fixtures; upgrading and installing wiring; and installation of new fixtures.
    2. Move to Creedon Hall Daily & Sunday Mass - and all liturgical events - will be held in Creedon Hall. Thank you to the volunteers and staff who helped us make the move!
    3. Safety First! The construction zone is a hard hat area and is off limits to all but authorized personnel. There is no admittance to the Narthex and Worship Space (either via the Commons or via the handicap entrance by the Statue of Mary.) Keep safety in mind! Obey all signs; be extra careful in our parking lot and on parish grounds; make sure children are accompanied by an adult at all times. 
    4. Schedule Changes Some activities will be re-scheduled or re-assigned to a different room during the project. We'll announce changes in the bulletin, on our Website, and via this Weekly Shepherd email.
      1. Vacation Bible School is still ON!  VBS will now be from TUESDAY, July 25 through Friday, July 28. The VBS activities will be held in 4 days(rather than 5). We are looking forward to a great week! (See registration info below.)
    5. Sacristy Moved to the Nursery  The nursery is closed during the project as it will serve as the Sacristy.  Our priests, deacons, and liturgical ministers (including altar servers) will use the Nursery to prepare for Mass.
    We look forward to the completion of the project by the end of August. Thank you for your prayers and patience as we undertake this improvement to our parish home! Read more from Father Tom about the project: Let there be Light

    No. Please use the main entrance to the church building. There is NO access to the Worship Space - either through the Narthex or through that side door.
    ​Thank you for your patience and understanding through this process!

    ​Lighting Project for Church Worship Space
    Mass moves to Creedon Hall starting Monday, June 26 

    Here are the top 5 things to know about our latest capital improvement project!
    1. The Project! We are undertaking an extensive project to upgrade the lighting in the church worship space. The project will address issues such as: poor visibility and spotty lighting; bulbs burning out quickly; need to be more energy efficient.
    2. Move to Creedon Hall Mass will be held in Creedon Hall starting Monday evening, June 26. (All activities that would be in the worship space: Mass, rosary, weddings, baptisms, funerals, etc. will move to the Hall.)
    3. Safety First! The construction zone will be a hard hat area and is off limits to all but authorized personnel. Keep safety in mind!  Obey all signs; be extra careful in our parking lot and on parish grounds; make sure children are accompanied by an adult at all times.
    4. Schedule Changes Some activities will be re-scheduled or re-assigned to a different room during the project. We'll announce changes in the bulletin, on our Website, and via this Weekly Shepherd email.*
    5. Good news! Due to prudent fiscal planning, and consistent parishioner generosity, we are undertaking this project without a loan or capital campaign!
    We look forward to the completion of the project by the end of August. Thank you for your prayers and patience as we undertake this improvement to our parish home!  Read more from Father Tom about the project: Let there be Light

    *SCHEDULE NOTE: 
    Vacation Bible School will take place Tuesday, July 25 - Friday, July 28 
    (instead of starting on Monday, July 24). More information available HERE.
