We did it! We have reached our goal of 1.2 million dollars for our Capital Campaign! This is a wonderful gift to our parish and a great way to begin the New Year! I thank God for blessing our campaign efforts. The fact that we could accomplish this during these difficult economic times is a tribute to all of you who sacrificed out of love for your parish. I cannot thank you enough nor can I put into words how proud I am of you! What a tremendous way to prepare for our 125th Anniversary in September! 

    I want to keep you updated as time goes on as to how the funds raised are being used. So far, we have replaced the walkways in front of church and replaced the plaza with beautiful pavers at a cost of approx. $80,000. There are plans for the rest of the physical plant walkways to be replaced in the spring. We also just completed emergency roof repairs to the church at a cost of approx. $50,000.

     It is important for you to know that our goal of 1.2 million dollars was not based on the actual cost of doing all needed repairs (which is closer to 1.5 million dollars), but rather was based on what we believed we could realistically raise. With that said, please know that it is not too late to still make a pledge to the campaign. The more we raise, the more repairs we can do!

Welcome from the Pastor

            On behalf of our parish family here at Our Lady of Sorrows, welcome to our parish web site!
           
            We believe that Our Lady of Sorrows Parish is a place where people find a spiritual home; a place where people can come to know more deeply the love of God; a place where we can be nourished on our faith journey; and a place where we can share our time and talents in ministry.

            I am happy that you have taken the time to visit our web site and hope that it will give you some helpful information as well as a sense of what our parish community is all about. Please do not hesitate to contact me or anyone on our staff if we can be of any assistance to you.
