Back to the church!

10/13/2017

We have moved one step closer to be completely done with this project!

The retrofit of the lighting work was completed today, Friday, October 13. EC Ernst worked extra time this week to complete and clean today. Mass will take place in the church Saturday morning.

There is still work to be completed. However, that work will not require a move out of the church. We are still waiting on some fixtures as well as programming the lighting panel.

We are grateful for our parishioners' financial and prayerful support that has allowed us to upgrade the lighting.

Thank you for your patience during this entire process! There truly is a light at the end of the tunnel!

We have a date!

Our contractors project we will be back in the church for the 9am daily Mass, Thursday, August 31! We are grateful for the efforts of our contractor to make sure we are able to move in by the end of August. EC Ernst has increased manpower on the job (additional crews and longer shifts) as well as bringing in additional equipment. Thank you for your prayers for the crew members working on our site!

The good news is that the original schedule for the International Festival will not be impacted: the 5K Race, the Yard Sale, the multi-cultural Mass, and the Festival Day will proceed as scheduled. For details about other parish activities and events, please check our Web site, including the Calendar link, for any updates or changes during the next few weeks. We are grateful for the continued patience, flexibility and cooperative spirit exhibited by GS parishioners and staff during this process. Thank you!

We look forward to enjoying a warm, welcoming and light-filled space to pray, worship, and celebrate our faith.

Thank you for your prayers and patience!

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.

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
