Two major liturgical celebrations occur on Sundays in the months of July and August: On July 25, we will observe the feast of St. James (the “Greater”) at Mass that day and the Assumption (Dormition) of the Blessed Virgin Mary will be celebrated on Sunday, August 15. In addition, the feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord will be celebrated on the Eve, August 5, with Liturgy at 7:00PM, preceded by Vespers at 6:30.
Thanks to Ben Caldwell and his team of volunteers from his Trail Life troop, we now have 8 new benches and several small tables for the deck. This was Ben’s service project and it required planning, working out a budget, purchasing materials, and supervising the work of several young men and their fathers (and Fr. Nicholas). Outdoor coffee hours will now be much more comfortable!
The Parish Council has voted to move forward with several unexpected building issues in addition to the completion of Phase 2 of our remodeling plan and gaining an occupancy permit for the parish hall. The air conditioning system in the chapel has to be replaced as well as the roof of the entire building. Contracts for these projects have been agreed upon and work will be done over the next several months. Donations to help meet these unplanned expenses will be greatly appreciated!
