Greetings!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support and generosity over the years. Your kindness and contributions truly make a difference!
This is an exciting time as we celebrate the 60 years of our church serving our East Mountain community. For sixty years, generations of parishioners have built, maintained and cared for St. Margaret Mary Parish. Today we worship in a church that exists because the people before us were generous enough to build not simply for themselves, but for those who would come after them.
In the last year we have completed many major projects throughout the church including heating and cooling systems, lighting, electrical, fire safety and security system.
We are now faced with the challenge of replacing our roof. The parish Finance and Building Committee’s were not anticipating this expense in the current year and were hopeful it could be a project that could be completed in phases. We have been advised by the Diocese Building and Major projects committee that due to rising costs and contract work that it would be more economical to proceed this year and in one phase.
The Financial picture for Roof project
Parish contribution from existing funds $175,26
One Heart One Soul $16,000
Diocesan Loan request $300,000
Total cost of Roof $491,265
We recognize that people have different financial circumstances. We hope that you will prayerfully consider how or if you are able to invest in the future of our parish. Every gift will make a difference, large or small. There are many ways that you can give, cash, cheque, direct deposit, stocks, pledge over a few years. You may have other contacts or connections that may be interested in supporting this project. Please reach out to Msgr. Con and share that information.
This is our opportunity to care for what has been entrusted to us and to hand it on, strong and secure, to the generations who will worship, pray, celebrate the sacraments and find a spiritual home here in the years ahead. While paying tribute to those before us.
I hope that we can count on you to prayerfully consider how you can help.
Thank you for your continued generosity, trust and your commitment to St. Margaret Mary Parish.
With every good wish and my thanks,
Msgr. Con
