First of all, a big thank you to Sandra Pickart as she has completed her ministry in liturgy and music after many years of service.  We wish her the best in the next chapter of life.
 Also, on Tuesday we will begin putting new carpeting in Pius Hall, and later add new carpeting in the hallway.  Our carpeting has served us well for over 20 years, and our facility gets lots of use.  Our pastoral council decided to move ahead with replacement. 
There is significant fraying of the carpet and some stains that cannot be removed.  The new carpet will be in squares that can be easily replaced as needed.
 
The reason we are able to do this upgrade is because of your consistent, generous support, together with excellent financial stewardship of our resources by parish leaders for many
years.  Your ongoing giving is why we don't have to do a special request when needs arise. 
For this, I am grateful.                                                                                                                                                          Proud to be your Padre,                                                                                  Father Jon Seda
