LETTER TO PARISHIONERS On Capital Campaign and Parish Renovation Project Dear Parishioners, It will be three years on December 31st that we began the Combined Capital Campaign for our parish projects and the Archdiocesan Ignite Campaign. My sincere appreciation to generous parishioners who sup- ported the campaign from the start and those who have been supporting it since then. With your generous help, we have been able to raise $1,531,710 in cash and $1,828,613 in pledges as of 11/30/21. The cost of the parish renovation project is $2.4 million including the $440,000 of the Archdiocesan Ignite Campaign. My deepest gratitude to those who pledged and have paid their pledges. Your generosity is a testimony to your love and commitment to our parish. I appeal to those who made pledges and have not been able to complete the payment to help us meet our goal by making their payments. I also urge parishioners who never pledged towards the campaign or those who are new to the parish to make a commitment towards the campaign today. The more we give towards the campaign, the closer we will get to reaching our goal. Thank you for your generosity. After six months of renovation work, I am very excited to report that we have been able to complete most of the projects that we set out to do. We are already using the newly renovated men’s and women’s restrooms, the priest sacristy, and the work sacristy with the new sacrarium. Last Sunday we began to use our new sound system and what a difference it made! We now have a new roof on the church and chapel. We have completed the painting of the church and chapel (did you notice it?). We have installed a new AV booth. We now have a second confessional (waiting for the stained glass for the new door to complete this). We removed the molds in the ceiling of the church and chapel, and we widened three entrances to the parking lot. We have LED fix- tures to light up our parking lots. We will soon complete the new choir platform with new chairs. All the 14 Stations of the Cross are now visible for meditation and prayers. The remainder of the project, new flooring, new pews in the church, and new chairs in the chapel, will be completed after the Christmas holidays. Your contributions have enabled us to do these needed improvements. Thank you. Beginning January 8/9, 2022, our weekend Masses and all Masses will be held in the Family Life Center so that we can install new flooring and new pews in the Church and the Chapel. On January 3rd we need volunteers to help remove all the pews from the church so that the flooring company can begin their work. We are contacting interested churches and individuals to pick up the pews they need on Monday, January 3rd to make way for a new floor and new pews. Once the flooring is completed, the pew company will begin the installation of our new pews and the new furniture for the altar. We hope these will all be completed by the middle of March 2022. While we use the Family Life Center (FLC) for daily and weekend Masses, we will have an overflow for the 9am, 11am, and 1pm Sunday Masses in St. Mary’s Hall and McGivney Hall. Those in these halls will view the Mass live-streamed from the FLC and so will be able to par- ticipate and receive Holy Communion during the time for Communion. They will also be able to give their offerings during the time for collec- tions. We will need more hospitality ministers and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion for these spaces. Weddings, Quinceañera, baptisms, and funerals will all be in FLC during this period. Adoration will continue in St. Joseph Hall. This will cause some inconvenience for all of us but by the time the whole project is completed, we will move back to what will look like a brand-new church and chapel! I appeal to the generosity of the entire parish families for us to reach our fundraising goals. During this season of giving, I ask that you consider giving a little more towards our capital campaign. Thank you for your generosity. I also appeal for your understanding during the first quarter of 2022 as we hold all Masses in the Family Life Center. God is good all the time! All the time God is good! Fr. Felix I. Osasona, MSP , Pastor Page 3 | Dec. 12, 2021

CARTA A LOS FELIGRESES Sobre la Campaña Capital y el Proyecto de Renovación Parroquial Queridos Feligreses, El 31 de diciembre se cumplirán tres años desde que comenzamos la Campaña Capital combinada para nuestros proyectos parroquiales y la Campaña Ignite Arquidiocesana. Mi sincero agradecimiento a los gen- erosos feligreses que apoyaron la campaña desde el principio y a aquellos que la han estado apoyando desde entonces. Con su generosa ayuda, hemos podido recaudar $1,531,710 en efectivo y $1,828,613 en promesas al 30/11/21. El costo del proyecto de renovación de la parroquia es de $ 2.4 millones, incluidos los $440,000 de la Campaña Ignite Arquidiocesana. Mi más profunda gratitud a aquellos que se comprometieron y han pagado sus promesas. Su generosidad es testimonio de amor y compromiso con nuestra parroquia. Hago un llamado a aquellos que hicieron sus promesas y no han podido completar el pago, para que nos ayuden a cumplir nuestro objetivo haciendo sus donaciones. También, insto a los feligreses que aún no se han comprometido con la campaña o a los que son nuevos en la parroquia a que se comprometan con esta campaña hoy. Cuanto más demos, más cerca estaremos de alcanzar nuestro objetivo. Gracias por su generosidad. Después de seis meses del trabajo de renovación, estoy muy emocionado de informar que hemos podido completar la mayoría de los proyectos que nos propusimos hacer. Ya estamos utilizando los recientemente renovados baños de hombres y mujeres, sacristía sacerdotal y sacristía de trabajo con el nuevo sagrario. El domingo pasado comenzamos a usar nuestro nuevo sistema de sonido y ¡qué diferencia hizo! ¿Has notado que en la iglesia y la capilla tenemos un nuevo techo, y hemos terminado con la pintura?. Tambien, hemos instalado una nueva cabina AV. Ahora tenemos un segundo confesionario (estamos esperando el vitral de la nueva puerta para finalizarlo). Retiramos los moldes en el techo de la iglesia, la capilla, y se ampliaron tres entradas al estacionamiento. Tenemos accesorios LED para iluminar nuestros estacionamientos. Pronto completaremos la nueva plataforma del coro con nuevas sillas. Las 14 Estaciones de la Cruz son ahora visibles para meditación y oraciones. El resto del proyecto, de nuevos pisos, nuevos bancos en la iglesia y nuevas sillas en la capilla, se completarán después de las vacaciones de Navidad. Gracias por sus contribuciones que nos han permitido hacer estas mejoras necesarias. A partir del 8 y 9 de enero de 2022, nuestras misas de fin de semana y todas las misas se realizarán en el Centro de Vida Familiar para que podamos instalar los pisos y nuevos bancos en la Iglesia y la Capilla. Necesitamos voluntarios para que el 3 de enero ayuden a retirar todos los bancos de la iglesia, así la compañía de pisos podrá comenzar su trabajo. También, nos estamos comunicando con las iglesias e individuos interesados en recoger los actuales bancos para dar paso el lunes 3 de enero a los nue- vos pisos y nuevos bancos. Una vez que se complete el piso, la compañía de bancos comenzará la instalación de nuestros nuevos bancos y el nuevo mobiliario para el altar. Esperamos que todo esto se complete a mediados de marzo de 2022. Si bien usaremos el Centro de Vida Familiar (FLC) para las misas diarias y de fin de semana, tendremos disponible adicionalmente para las misas dominicales de 9 am, 11 am y 1 pm el St. Mary's Hall y McGivney Hall. Aquellos que esten en estos salones verán la Misa transmitida en vivo desde el FLC y así podrán participar y recibir la Sagrada Eucarístia durante el tiempo de la Comunión. También podrán dar sus ofrendas durante las colectas; por tal razón necesitaremos más ministros de hospitalidad y Ministros Ex- traordinarios de la Sagrada Comunión para estos espacios. Las Bodas, quinceañeras, bautizos y funerales se realizarán en el FLC durante todo este período. La adoración continuará en el Salón San José. Se que esto causará algunos inconvenientes para todos nosotros, pero para cuando se complete todo el proyecto, ¡volveremos a lo que parecerá una nueva iglesia y capilla! Hago un llamado a la generosidad de todas las familias de la parroquia para que alcancemos nuestras metas de recaudación de fondos. Durante esta temporada de donaciones, les pido que consideren dar un poco más hacia nuestra Campaña Capital. Gracias por su generosidad. También hago un llamamiento para su comprensión durante el primer trimestre de 2022 mientras celebramos todas las Misas en el Centro de Vida Familiar. ¡Dios es bueno todo el tiempo! ¡Todo el tiempo Dios es bueno!
