Dear Friends in Christ:
All Saints is our spiritual home and, like many of your own homes, is in need of several repairs. Today, we’re looking forward to our next project approved by the Bishop, Building Commission and  All Saints Parish and Finance Councils. 

The Project will involve the replacement of the twenty-eight Nave ventilators in the Main Church. These are  a hundred plus years old, they do not seal out the weather well and they do not operate well.
We received 4 quotes with a cost from $43,146.00 to $69,353.00. A letter with our recommendation was send to Bishop. On March 21 our proposal was accepted.
 
Total cost of project is $56,660.00
50% of the cost will be taken from our Church savings and matching other 50% contributed by all members of the parish. (50% = $28,330.00)
I am asking all of us as a family united in our Catholic faith, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and committed to one another to take part in this project. 
I know that with your support, we can proceed with this project.
Every donation counts and 100% of all funds raised will stay in the parish specifically for this renovation.
All donations should be made to All Saints Church by June 30, 2019, with a memo „Stained Glass Windows Vents 2019.” Just a reminder that your contribution is Tax deductible. Please provide your envelope number, so that we can give you credit for this donation. 
Please accept my personal thanks for all you do to make All Saints the great parish it is.
Letter with details will be mailed this week to all registered members. 

God Bless, Fr. Piotr Calik

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process through which adults learn about the teachings of Jesus as the Catholic Church has handed them on and put these teachings into practice by living as part of the Catholic community, serving others and praying. RCIA is for three groups of people:

Those who have never been baptized in any faith,
People who were baptized in another Christian faith, and
Baptized Catholics who have never received the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.

For more information please speak to a priest after Mass or call the parish office. We would love to help you on your journey to a deeper relationship with Christ and His Church.

As you may know we are starting a Hot Homemade Meal Delivery program here at All Saints Church called Take and Eat. 
We would like to know if you know anyone (yourselves included) who would benefit for getting a hot homemade meal once a month every first Saturday. 

There is no charge for the meal and there are no qualifications in getting the meal. Just asking for it is enough. 

Please call the rectory office  and give the name and address of the person or persons who would like to receive the meal. 

We will build this program based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ "I was hungry and you gave me food, a stranger and you welcomed me, ill and you cared for me."

Oh God, Who this day by Your only-begotten Son vanquishing death, has unlocked for us the gate of eternity, help us to attain the desires to which You have led us by Your inspirations. We ask this through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. 

Oh God, as we renew our Baptismal vows, help us to be made worthy of Eternal Life, that we may always seek to do Your will in our hearts and minds, that we may show others Your saving grace and Your love. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Oh God, who makes the faithful to be of one mind and will, grant that we, Your people; may love what you command and desire what You promise so that, amid the changing things of this world, our hearts may be fixed where true joys are to be found. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
