I want to thank all those parishioners who regularly contribute to the Parish Maintenance Collection. Our parish buildings have been around for a long time. The school is the newest building, and the cornerstone is dated 1966. Our other buildings are considerably older. As a result, they are in constant need of maintenance. I notice many beautiful homes of considerable vintage in our parish. The lucky people who live in them know what it takes to keep the well-crafted house in shape and the grounds presentable. All homeowners should take pride in their homes because it reflects who they are and their appreciation of their neighborhood. An unkempt property sticks out like a sore thumb amid well-tended properties.

​

This collection helps us keep up with the maintenance and repairs these venerable buildings demand. Our grounds should inspire people to stop, look, and come in to experience our faith community.

​

We want to keep this wonderful place in good order. My father would tell me, "It is not going to get better by looking at it." When we see something that needs tending to, we like to act on it. Your funds help us to do this.

Some things that need tending:

1. The installation of railings at the end of the aisle and in the sanctuary.

2. New storm windows for the rectory offices and kitchen.

3. Replacing broken cement blocks around the property.

4. Painting the wrought iron fencing around the property.

5. Painting of the rectory doors and front pillars.

6. New speakers in the church at the mid-section and foyer.​

Your love and support of the parish is manifested in many ways.

Be proud of Immaculate Conception Parish.
