Work on the new walkway and patio is complete and now the landscaping portion of the project almost done. If you did not purchase an engraved brick, forms are in the parish hall -- the plan is to reorder bricks early each spring, or whenever there are a large number to take to the engraver.

PHASE TWO includes a sign for the church and we want you to Design-A-Sign. That’s right, your ideas and vision are needed. Give us a drawing, sketch or computer print out of your plan, then we’ll have your fellow parishioners help pick a winner. Submit your work to a Parish Council member by July 5th. (Sheets with details are in the parish hall.)
