CHURCH PRESERVATION – There are many reasons our parishioners have committed their financial support to
renovating our spiritual home: “I was amazed during the tour of our Church at how many beautiful details
surround us, and at the same time saw the repairs many areas of our structure need. I want to be sure our physical
Church is as strong as our spiritual community. My pledge of $1,000 is enclosed.” Church Preservation Project
brochures are available in the gathering space in the back of the church. We hope you will give thoughtful
consideration to your pledge. Thank you to all of you who have made your investment in our church!
