Furnish the Dream

Thank you for generously supporting the Building the Dream Campaign.  Our dream will become a reality with the dedication of the Parish Center on August 9, 2009 at an 11 AM Mass in the auditorium.

You will recall that about a year ago we faced a budgetary choice to either eliminate a part of the building or to proceed with construction and delay the purchase of major building furnishings.  The decision was made to construct the parish center as it was designed and to raise money later to pay for the furnishings.  Well, you guessed it... now is the time to raise the money to purchase those furnishings!  We need the following items:

 Priority         Item                                                             Amount            Comments
