24. St. Patrick Church- A Call to Restore & Preserve
At times there were prayers for needed rain. Blessed rain came. Both blessings in their own rite, the prayers and the rain have impacted our beautiful church. The kneelers and the pews are well-worn from the prayers and are in need of restoration. The needed rain over the years has corroded the gutters, taxed roofs, heaved pavement, and changed the flow of drainage, eroding the very foundation of our church. For the sake of our beautiful sanctuary we must act now to restore and preserve. We as parishioners and shareholders in the faith will be invited to participate in claiming the future of St. Patrick Catholic Church through a capital campaign The intention is to restore and preserve our historic church.:
