Dear Parishioners,

I want to share some wonderful updates regarding both the temporal security and the pastoral growth of our parish and school community. God is truly blessing our efforts!

🛡️ Federal Homeland Security Grant Awarded

We have fantastic news regarding our parish and school infrastructure:

• The Award: We received a $190,000 federal Homeland Security grant!
• The Purpose: This funding will modernize our facilities and provide the best possible security protections.
• Timeline: The project will take roughly one year (give or take a few months) to complete.
• Future Plans: Because equipment costs have risen significantly, we plan to apply for another grant when we become eligible two years from now.
• Gratitude: A huge thank you to our dedicated committee members and our grant writer who made this massive help possible.
