3. Buy a Brick. The courtyard between the two buildings will be paved with bricks that may be inscribed with various messages and names. In addition to our parishioners, we would like to reach out beyond our own parish with this project. Bricks are 100.00 dollars each. More information will follow on this important project.

With the building construction drawing to a close, now is the time to help. Please feel free to contact any of these individuals, members of the parish council, or Father Andrew about these projects.

Also if you have pledged money to date, please begin to make plans to turn in your donations as the construction is rapidly finishing and we need to begin ordering these items.

Buy A Brick Program Is Underway

Anyone who is interested in helping with this worthwhile project may do so. If you wish to help please contact us and we will be glad to help you purchase a brick for the courtyard.
