Church Beautification

Members of the Finance Council and Pastoral Advisory Council have been working with Fr. Revak on the next phase of our church beautification project, continuing our efforts to give fitting glory to God and reflect the beauty of heaven in His house.

As part of this project, stained glass will be added throughout the church, including the larger sanctuary windows and rear doors, helping to fill our sacred space with beautiful scenes from Scripture while also creating a more prayerful atmosphere for worship.

We will also be installing a new set of Stations of the Cross. These larger, beautifully carved stations will more faithfully reflect the traditional devotion of the Church and allow for greater participation in parish prayer and devotion.

Finally, statues of beloved saints will be placed throughout the church as a reminder that we worship in communion with the saints and angels. These sacred images will remind us that we are not alone in the Christian life, but are united with the faithful who have gone before us and who continue to intercede for us in heaven.

Additional opportunities to support the beautification of our parish will include sponsorships for altar frontals and banners that will further enhance the reverence and beauty of our liturgical celebrations throughout the year.

This project will greatly enrich the beauty, prayerfulness, and devotional life of our parish for generations to come. If you would like to help support this effort, please use the link provided below to visit our SignUp Genius page, where you may sponsor one or more elements of the project.

Thank you for helping us continue this noble work for the glory of God and the good of our parish family.

Mothers Day Spiritual Bouquet

Mother’s Day spiritual bouquet cards are available in the Narthex or online through our online giving platform. This is a great way to honor your mother—whether living or deceased— this Mother’s Day.

These intentions will be placed upon the altar as the Mass intention at the 8:00 AM Mass on Mother’s Day, May 10.
