EMERY: [email protected] A MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR As I am sure you know, our parish Capital Campaign ended in December and I wanted to give you a final report. You will remember that the campaign was done as part of our 125th anniversary and I want to first say thank you to all who supported our campaign. We made our goal in pledges of just over 1.2 million dollars and collected 90% of it! We currently have approximately $375,000 left after all the work we have done and still have some work to do. In terms of what we have done over the past three years, the major projects were: new walkways on the entire physical plant including a handicapped ramp to the gym on Academy Street; new spotlights in church; a new dimming system for the church lights; repairing the flat roofs of the church; new pavers in front of church in the plaza; re-pointing and masonry work of entire church exterior stone and new slates on roof as needed; new landscaping on both Prospect and Academy Streets; the purchase of a new parish truck and new outside spotlights on church. Two projects that are still pending are new church doors (the current ones are rotting and not closing properly) and cleaning some sections of the stone on the interior of the church. Any monies left at the end will be kept on hand for emergency repairs as needed. Once again, thank you for all of your support of our capital campaign! Thanks to you, our church will be here and in good shape for generations to come! As a side note, I thank too all those who have responded in a positive way to our recent Increased Offertory Appeal. As you can see from the bulletin, we have gone from a deficit to a slight surplus for Sunday collections! I am so grateful to you all and am always proud to be your Pastor! In Christ, Msgr. Emery THE SACRIFICIAL GIVING OF OUR PARISHONERS Due to the Martin Luther King Holiday this will be reported in the next bulletin.

Jesus asks us to help Him build his church on earth by generously sharing all our gifts of prayer, talent and treasure. Remember, Jesus calls us to generously develop and share all our gifts, not just the ones we pick and choose. Reflections on the Catechism “Calling the Desciples” 541 “Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe in the gospel.’” “to carry out the will of the Father Christ inaugurated the kingdom of heaven on earth.” Now the Father’s will is “to raise up men to share in his own divine life.” He does this by gathering men around his Son, Jesus Christ. This gathering is the Church, “on earth the seed and beginning of that kingdom.” (Mary Jane Tannen 13th of the Month Club) THE FOOD PANTRY NEEDS YOUR HELP PLEASE CONTINUE TO THINK OF THOSE LESS FORTUNATE AND DROP OFF A FEW BAGS OR A CASE OF ANY OF THESE ITEMS: CEREAL,OATMEAL PASTA,SAUCE MAC AND CHEESE COFFEE,TEA,HOT CHOCOLATE CANNED FRUIT,VEGGIES SOUP TUNA,SPAM CANNED PASTA PEANUT BUTTER JELLY PAPER TOWELS,TOILET PAPER ALL DONATIONS CAN BE LEFT OUTSIDE OF THE FOOD PANTRY DOOR WHICH IS OFF THE 4TH STREET ENTRANCE.
