Building Project Up-date

As parishioners have noticed, the church renovation process began the week of January 11th. The opening meeting with architect John Mahon, representatives from McComas-Lacina and the owners has taken place. Builders risk insurance has been obtained. Pictures of the ground breaking ceremony are posted in the church lobby. General Chairs met in mid December to get an update on the capital campaign and pledges after nine months. Parish offices have been moved. Rectory storage has been consolidated. Steve Noll will represent us at the construction site as necessary. Plans are in place for moving the piano and organ. The Project Commission will meet next on January 28th. Still no definite word on when we may moving Mass to the basement. Contact Tom Wieseler at 895-6850 with any questions.

“Parish Renewal Prayer”

Gracious and Loving God,

In Your bountiful love, You have blessed us with many good things.  We thank you for our church, our faith, and the many gifts we treasure.

We see in this community a tradition rich in faith and love.  We look forward to a bright and hopeful future.

Be with us Lord as we plan.  Give us wisdom, that we will follow your will.

Renew us, Turn us toward Your love.  Transform us, Make us whole.  Shape us into an Easter people of holiness and grace.

We dedicate to You our labor as we strive to renovate and revitalize our parish.  Draw us together, heart and mind, as we do Your work.  Enliven us, young and old, as we continue to build this community oj faith.

Amen.

This prayer reflects the voices of the Holy People of St. John the Baptist as shared at the Visioning Retreat on renovation and revitalization, November 29, 2006.
