RENOVO CXXV
As we approach our 125th anniversary, we cannot help but be mindful of and thankful for the rich, prayerful liturgical life we participate in: the education and formation programs available to everyone, the faithful outreach to our brothers and sisters who are in need, and the social activities available to parishioners. We need to remember that with this blessing there is the responsibility to care for our structures, especially our church building, which is the center of parish life.
