A Message from Msgr. Murphy
First, I want to thank everyone in the parish who
participated in the Feasibility Study through interviews and the survey. Reading through the entire report, I learned a lot about our parish and the thoughts of the people who make up our faith community and I can tell that the Holy Spirit is with us. Your participation in the survey is helping the Council to make informed decisions about the future of our parish.
The Feasibility Study reports that parishioners are generally happy with the direction the parish is going and want to move forward with a capital campaign to pay down our parish debt. I was most encouraged by this because the debt, if not addressed, will begin to adversely impact our ability to minister to our people and the broader community.
Throughout the report, I also noted the concerns about the state of our economy and its impact on people’s lives and on our church. This is certainly a concern that I share along with members of the Parish Council, and others in leadership positions in the parish; however, there was no indication that this should prevent us from reaching our goals in the campaign.
Click here to view our February Newsletter with the findings and recommendations from the Feasibility Study Report. I strongly encourage everyone to take the time to read the entire newsletter. There is good information included in it. Contact the office if you would like to see the entire 60 plus page report.
Please remember in your prayers our parish and those in our parish who are going through rough times. May God continue to bless you and keep you safe.
In Christ,
Msgr. Robert Murphy
Pastor
