Enhancing our Beautiful Church. Some Small Projects…Vestibule…

Another effort to create a welcoming environment in the vestibule is the addition of two statues of Joseph and Mary. We have moved around bulletin boards and created focal points as people enter the church. Two beautiful wood-carved statues of Joseph and Mary now welcome all to this sacred place. This reduces a little of the “busyness” or clutter of our vestibule and leads us to focus on our prayer time with God.

Finally, our Grotto Area at the side of the church… (in process)

This is a beautiful walkway at the side of the church and it can be a wonderful place of prayer and reflection. We are in the process of planning a new landscape (simple) with a beautiful new statue of our Blessed Mother and Child. The current statue (18 inches tall) is just sitting on some dirt. The new statue is 5ft. tall and will sit on a beautiful pedestal and send a message to the neighborhood about Mary’s role in guiding all to Jesus, her Son. This project will take some time and we are trying to finish it soon…

Have a blessed and holy week! In Christ’s love, Fr. Pat
