Most of our campus survived the historic weather of last week without any damage. Our one casualty was the water heaters affixed to the Parish Center by the kitchen entrance. These tankless heaters exploded causing water to flow into Johnson Hall. On Sunday, we found water flowing from the heaters and about ¼ of an inch of water on about 50% of Johnson Hall. With the help of the Knights of Columbus, we were able to remove the water quickly to avoid damage to the floor. For now, the Parish Center has no water until it can be repairs. We are grateful to the Knights for their help.

We are trying to be flexible and creative this year in the midst of the pandemic. We realize that not all parishioners may be able to physically come to the church to pick up reflection booklets. We have purchased a license for Ann Naffziger’s Words for the Weary: Embracing the Lenten Season after a Challenging Pandemic Year to make it available to the parish. Download these reflections for Lent and take a few minutes each day to think about our lives this year and entrust ourselves to God.
