Parish 200th Anniversary
Planning has begun in earnest as the Heritage Council looks ahead to 2026 (specifically, September 27 of that year and the lead-up to the day). The six subcommittees - all of which will require more volunteer help - have been formed to make the preparations. In April, we will be asking parishioners directly to assist in the work of these subcommittees:
anniversary liturgies (Mass, other prayers)
anniversary festivity (celebratory events)
publicity (invites, corporate sponsors, banners, media)
parish history booklet & commemorative memorabilia
church statuary & stations refurbishing or restoration
photo directory of parishioners & church photo display
We will be creating a prayer card for the occasion - with any helpful input to be considered. As the parish history has not been updated in forty years, any photos / "souvenirs" of people and events of "recent vintage" will be welcomed.
