Thank you to all who give generously to our monthly Funded Depreciation Reserve Second Collection. These are important funds we put aside for future (and present) needs to maintain our parish facilities. Several months ago, we withdrew funds to help cover the expenses of a number of facility enhancements, and given the expenses we are presently incurring with the needed repairs to the church flagstone, as well as the water-intrusion-fixes over several of the doorways, we most likely will withdraw additional funds. Due to your consistent stewardship, our Funded Depreciation Reserve is healthy and fulfilling its mission: to help defer a portion of unexpected costs related to the upkeep and enhancement of our parish property and facilities.
