Dear Parishioners and
Friends,
We are writing to ask for
your help in building our new church.
Less than two years ago our
parish purchased the land
that we currently occupy. This
property had a house and a barn. We used
the money we had available at that time to remodel the house (our
Phase I building) which we have used for services ever since. However, we have already outgrown this
facility. Now we have turned to the
renovation of the barn (our
Phase II building).
After the completion of the
architectural designs, and a bidding process, we have settled on a contractor,
and are beginning to get the necessary permits to proceed with
construction. To date, we have raised
more than $100,000.00 to build. $50,000.00 is needed to completely fund this
building project. The mortgage on our
property does not allow the financing of this construction project. We appeal to you, our brothers and sisters in
Christ, to help us make this huge leap as a Parish by donating generously
towards our building fund.
Let us know if you will be
able to help us with this project by completing the attached form. All pledges will be held in strictest
confidence. You are encouraged to submit the names of
your loved ones that you would like for us to remember in our prayers. We also ask for your prayers for the success
of the project, and for our continued growth.
We ask that you respond by
January 31st.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. John Whiteford and the
