12. Media Spotlight Dedication of the New Altar
“Priests are not trained to be engineers” he says. “But I took on majority of the task of overseeing the project.” Significant consultation followed including setting up a financial/planning committee so as to guide and plan developments under his leadership.
When one walks in through the front doors of the church, they are bound to be in awe of the new curved large stained glass window behind the altar. This is Rev. Laszlo’s crowning achievement that is now the main focal point of the church, adding to greater dimensions.
On Jan. 24., H.E. Cardinal Thomas Christopher Collins celebrated the dedication ceremony of the altar.

13. Fr. László quotes
“I know that as a community, we can accomplish anything and make everything happen together in God’s time”
“The many temptations in today’s consumer society promise easy happiness. In this sea, we may sink too easily and too quickly. But the water of consumerism is salty water. The more we drink, the thirstier we will get.”
“Not only "that night" but every night since his birth people of faith have been able to dream and live with new hope. It's what makes the good times great and the bad times bearable.”
