Dear Parish Family,

Over the past several weeks, our parish has been prayerfully engaged in our Parish Improvements Campaign. With gratitude for the support already received, we are making steady progress on three important projects to maintain and improve our parish facilities:

• Heating and Cooling Systems: Installing new heat pumps in Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament Chapel and the Social Hall, and repairing the existing unit in Hanley Hall, so that all our spaces remain welcoming and comfortable throughout the year.
• Restroom Renovations: Updating the restrooms near Hanley Hall to provide a more hospitable and accessible environment for our parishioners and guests.
• Roof Repairs: Preserving the welcoming atmosphere of the Upper Room and Hanley Hall through essential roof repairs.

These efforts are not simply about maintaining buildings. They are about people—about ensuring that our parish continues to be a place where faith is nurtured, friendships are formed, and discipleship is lived with joy.

At the heart of Christian stewardship is the truth that everything we have is a gift from God, entrusted to us not for ourselves alone, but to share in service of others. Many before us prayed, worked, and sacrificed to build the parish we now call home. Now, it is our turn to ensure that those who come after us will inherit a parish where they too can encounter Christ.

I warmly invite you to take part in this campaign. Your contribution, whether large or small, makes a real difference. Every gift is an act of love that helps our parish family grow stronger and flourish in faith.

St. Paul reminds us: “You are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it” (1 Cor 12:27). Together, by offering our time, talent, and treasure, we build up the Body of Christ here in our midst.

Let us embrace this opportunity with faith and hope. When we give joyfully and sacrificially, we reflect the generosity of Christ Himself, who gave everything for us. May our united efforts bear fruit not only in bricks and mortar, but above all in stronger bonds of faith, fellowship, and love.

With heartfelt gratitude for your continued generosity, and with trust in God’s providence, let us move forward together as one parish family, dedicated to our mission and to one another.

In Christ,

Fr. Long Phi Nguyen, SVD
Pastor
