Our parish auditorium, cafeteria and two school buildings is a parish treasure. We are all best because we enjoy the use of the resources. Without them there would be no dances, no space for meetings, religious formation, youth programs, formal elementary school education and much more that we hold dear. I know that we all recognize how important our buildings are for parish life.

Well, let me mention that we have not been able to do all that is required to protect these parish resources. The main reason for this is a lack of funds. But we are fortunate to be part of the Archdiocese of Newark. let me tell you why I say this.

On this site, we are showing you pictures of the project to replace our roofs.
(see FLASH below)
As a result of significant rainfall during the summer months, we had to replace the ceilings and many bathroom facilities in our buildings. In fact, it happened two times. After the second time, I called the Archdiocese and asked the Archbishop for a loan to replace the roofs. The loan was granted and thus we will avoid any additional damage to our roofs due to rain. Thanks be to God for the Archdiocese!

Let me now ask you to enjoy watching our project move forward. We will post new pictures for each step of the project. And, let's all pray that the wonderful traditions our community enjoys will be supported by the marvelous parish facilities that are the gift of our predecessors.
